See the little words in the bottom right hand corner that say “ignore this warning”?

LOL Using an old IE v 6 and it’s OK.

BING doesn’t “block” it.

It all depends on what your settings are. If you have high security filtertering, it will be blocked because of keywords used in articles (such as the word “tranny” in the article you linked to above.) It isn’t personal, it is just you use words in your articles normally associated with porn sites and such.

"Your security preferences may be different from defaults."

Nope. I haven't touched them. "block reported websites" is definitely checked. FWIW.

Came up without any problem for me (Firefox). It looks like they have cleared the site.

I'm wondering if homosexual activists just falsely reported the site as an attack site and Google and Firefox took the reports at face value.

What do people have against transmissions?

Ran a quick check. Google tried to block it, and claimed it was an attack site. Firefox and Safari both went through with no glitches.

This is an illegal violation of the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment and Digital Millenium Act.

Unless the government is behind it, it is not a Constitutional violation.

The massresistance site (like any other Web site) has to try to protect itself from hackers.

Here’s Google’s report on what’s happening:

What happened when Google visited this site?

Of the 304 pages we tested on the site over the past 90 days, 4 page(s) resulted in malicious software being downloaded and installed without user consent. The last time Google visited this site was on 2009-07-28, and the last time suspicious content was found on this site was on 2009-07-28.
Malicious software includes 1 scripting exploit(s).

Malicious software is hosted on 4 domain(s), including carmelazfunz.com/, web-analize.org/, cqzinomonster.com/.

3 domain(s) appear to be functioning as intermediaries for distributing malware to visitors of this site, including analitic-manager.net/, web-analize.net/, web-analize.org/.

This site was hosted on 1 network(s) including AS32392 (OPENTRANSFER).

Has this site acted as an intermediary resulting in further distribution of malware?

Over the past 90 days, www.massresistance.org did not appear to function as an intermediary for the infection of any sites.

Has this site hosted malware?

No, this site has not hosted malicious software over the past 90 days.

How did this happen?

In some cases, third parties can add malicious code to legitimate sites, which would cause us to show the warning message.

If you are the owner of this web site, you can request a review of your site using Google Webmaster Tools. More information about the review process is available in Google’s Webmaster Help Center.

This is what I got when I searched "MassResistance"

"This site may harm your computer.
Google blocks MassResistance blog! Posts warning notice that our factual transgender rights reports (with photos) are "objectionable"! ..."

Incorrect.

According to Google's Safe Browsing Diagnostic page for www.massresistance.org, they are blocking it because some sites linked from it are attempting to purvey malware. In other words, Mass Resistance probably needs to look into for whom they are serving ads.

Google's as efficient as any good search engine at finding p0rn.

MassResistance folks told me that Google started doing this leading up to a recent vote on a Transgender Bill in Mass., in an obvious attempt to shut down dissent. There were not aware that the new Firefox is also censoring them.

You could at least understand the technology being implemented before crying wolf. "Firefox" itself is not blocking a damn thing: Firefox's anti-phishing filter references a Google-maintained database to discern if the URL the user is attempting to connect to is suspected of being a malware vector. Sometimes the Google list gets it wrong: I've occasionally been warned that an innocent, non-political site could potentially be a malware-distributing or falsified webpage. Usually a site lands on Google's list because a random advertisement on the site contains malicious code, or attempts to clickjack your browser.

Mozilla is 100% blameless.
