Just received this comment:
Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Has A Scientist Discovered What's Behind The Vax B...":
not necessary to post this -
when browsing to your site, Firefox has blocked me - as per Google, someone has reported your site as a deceptive site
there is an option to ignore and continue, which I did, and reported that this is not a deceptive site.
others may not know how to bypass the block

Interestingly, that comment was accompanied in my Inbox by this:
This message seems dangerous
Many people marked similar messages as phishing scams, so this might contain unsafe content. Avoid clicking links, downloading attachments, or replying with personal information.
Which I ignored.
UPDATE: This email I received is interesting. I mentioned in another post that I thought I screwed up earlier this evening and somehow deleted rather than published a post. However, I just received this email which explains things--a bit:

I'm left guessing what my transgression actually was. The only thing I can come up with is that one of the links in the now deleted post triggered this in some way that isn't clear to me. I'm guessing that this process was triggered automatically, which in some ways is a relief.
You have arrived.
ReplyDeleteWell done.
Except that I just did a fairly long post and it vanished. Maybe I just screwed up?
DeleteI fired up Firefox and tried it. Got the red page, but I received no option to ignore and continue.
ReplyDeleteGot a similar “deceptive website error” via Duck.
ReplyDeleteBut the key seems to be what browser you're using.
DeleteI must have missed the excitement. Running Safari, which is super-cranky, and it said not a word. I think you are probably right, Mark. Some link went to a site suspected of planting malware. I am glad things like that are caught automatically. The alternative is not pretty.
DeleteI don't get that in my regular browsers, like Slimjet. Firefox users should maybe consider--for a variety of reasons--alternatives like Chromium?
ReplyDeleteShows up in Safari as well. I reported this as incorrect.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I take it you were able to ignore and continue?
DeleteMy wife tried on Safari and couldn't continue.
ReplyDeleteBlogspot is owned by Google.
ReplyDeleteDownload or export your blog before it's too late. Time to look for alternatives.
Ditto!
DeleteSM
Double ditto!!
DeleteMore censorship. I had to work hard to get on the site. You should sue someone.
ReplyDeleteCheese
The google red page shows up in Brave; after clicking "details" on the red page, I get a second red page with 'continue'. Clicking continue brought me here.
ReplyDeleteCitizens Free Press has the google red page on some of its links as well.

Hmmm, I don't know. I am able to access your blog via Duck and Firefox no problem and with no msgs. Also able to access via Brave (a Chrome clone). Also tried via a couple of different VPN IP addresses and Firefox - no problem. Given all that, the e-mail seems to me to be highly suspicious. However, I should note that searching for the "A Scientist Discovered What's Behind..." column specifically does not return results via either Duck or Startpage. Could be the crawlers have not creeped yet. But again, no msgs. Hope this is of some help.
ReplyDeleteHappens in Chrome too, unsurprisingly. Download everything to a teribyte drive to make sure Google doesn’t “Parler” you. That way you’re covered.

Using Brave with duck duck go as the search engine. No issues or strange messages so far.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Seem to be back. Tried Firefox and Safari--OK.
ReplyDeleteFWIW, browsers that might be good for this sort of thing are Falkon and Iridium. Both Chromium based.
ReplyDeleteI only got the red page warning once. After I clicked through, and reported the site was not a deceptive site, I never got the warning again.
ReplyDeleteI have gotten the warning from time to time on other sites in the past though, and depending on the site, either click through or not.
Frank
I've read this happened to Don Surber and Doug Ross too.
ReplyDelete- michaelt
This seems like a concerted effort aimed at patriot sites. Ive gotten similar blocks on Bayou Renaissance Man and Raconteur Report. Verrrrry suspicious. All on Chrome browser so am in process of moving favorite sites to Duck Duck Go and Brave.
ReplyDeleteAs an afterthought, i wonder if it makes sense for patriot bloggers to use email as a publishing vehicle? Or at least as a supplement to the site? In some ways it's easier to share emails than websites and if the gangsters know that their tyrannical suspensions don't work bc you can just email offending posts to your subscribers, they may leave off.
ReplyDeleteThe warning seems to only discuss viruses and malware.
ReplyDeletePerhaps some "bug" has attached itself. Maybe try running a scan with some anti-malware programs?
Frank
This happened to a lot of sites, apparently:

Interesting. My post has been reinstated as of early this morning:

Not sure if it is the same issue, but Don Surber had a similar issue. Item#14

I've heard that this was fairly widespread.
