Microsoft's "SmartScreen Filter" is blocking Sarah Palin's new website (sarahpalinchannel.com).
When I went to the site anyway (it's hard to do), the videos would not play.
Whatever is wrong may have been caused by a deliberately orchestrated group of people reporting the site as unsafe to Microsoft, or it may simply be that Microsoft simply does not like Sarah Palin. Regardless of the cause, it may help if people go to the site and click on the "Report this site does not contain threats" choice.
Is there a phishing threat on the site? That’s the reason the there was an alert.
No there is not. It is purely political. Microsoft employees in Seattle. I work remotely for them (contractor). PDS is palpable.
There's no such item on the SarahPalinChannel.com site.
It's not on her site. It's an option on the "SmartScreen Filter" Microsoft's Internet Explorer uses.
I can go there in a different browser and get through. The only browser I know of that is blocking it is Internet Explorer.
The videos will not play in Internet Explorer if you continue to the site anyway.
Done. Her site looks good!
I tested on multiple browsers - the message is just a gay little trick by the Left to try and poison her site for IE-users.
Note that I am using ‘gay’ in its modern sense of ‘vicious and infantile’.
My chrome opened the site just fine, but to join, there is a monthly fee. No thanks.
Consider Palemoon as your new browser....
******************************
Ditto on the Pale Moon suggestion - works great, very happy with it.
You mean not the same folks that did ObamaSite?
I dropped Firefox for Torch when they screwed their CEO for making donations to the “wrong” cause.
In IE 11, click the Gear icon in the far upper right.
From the Popup menu, select Internet options.
In the Internet options properties page, select the Security tab.
In the Select a zone to view or change security settings, double-click Trusted sites, and then click the wide Sites button just below and to the right.
Click the Add button, and then click Close, and finally, OK.
Refresh and now the video should play.

Works fine for me.
I’m surprised that Microsoft’s liberals didn’t say that FreeRepublic, Drudge and conservative sites as unsafe.
It wouldn’t let me disregard and enter anyway, report it as safe or any other choice.
It has nothing to do with Microsoft per se. It’s because a number of liberal knuckleheads reported the site to Microsoft as unsafe. I suspect these same folks are working to get Google and Firefox to report the same thing as well.
As posted earlier, simply override and send feedback to Microsoft that the site it safe... the flag will be lifted soon enough.
Yancy
it does much better than the obamacare website, and did not cost $600 million.
I'm very disappointed to hear that she's charging a fee. Because now she'll be preaching just to the choir, and not to the general public. More people need to hear what Palin has to say. This sure isn't a way to do that.
Or as stated, ad the channel to your trusted sites, or if you can turn off the Smart Screen filter.
I use Pale Moon and IE11 as my primary browsers. Chrome is a piece of crap that slowly drains resources (and battery life on laptops) when multiple tabs are opened, and even when they aren’t. This is a problem that has plagued the browser since its release. For years Google promised a fix and never delivered. They finally admitted it’s an issue that can never be resolved... it’s embedded within code and they would have to build from the ground floor up.
Have not missed it one bit.
I can’t afford to sign up. If she isn’t using advertising to fund this, then she needs a site with free information and one with pay-for-viewing services.
I have a similar problem on the default Android browser that blocks opticsplanet.com because that sell gun sights as well as telescopes.
Lieberals want to prohibit even any mention of guns.Or anything they don’t approve of..
