The new update to Firefox, 3.5 is blocking access to the critical anti-homosexual activist site MassResistance.org...
UPDATE: Google is now also blocking access, warning "Site is listed as suspicious - visiting this website may harm your computer."
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.
This is an illegal violation of the 1st Amendment, 4th Amendment and Digital Millenium Act. We need to get to our Representatives on this ASAP.
Doesn’t block me with FF 3.5.1
Your security preferences may be different from defaults.
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.
i have 3.5.1 and i also don’t see this problem
No blockage here.
Nope. I haven't touched them. "block reported websites" is definitely checked. FWIW.
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.
>it will be blocked because of keywords used in articles (such as the word “tranny” in the article you linked to above.)
What do people have against transmissions?

"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.
