Jim-
Don’t know whether this is of assistance or not. Back during when our state was having the same-sex marriage fight a couple of years ago, church and religious sites here that believed in traditional marriage, including my church, were finding that their websites were being blocked as containing viruses or “child-unfriendly or harmful material” by various anti-virus and anti-spam programs.
What was eventually discovered was that “someone” (presumed to be the national pro-homosexual advocacy groups) had the ability to access anti-virus, anti-spam sites in Russia and reported and got their opponents listed there as harmful sites. The anti-virus companies around the world share their databases, so then the American anti-virus companies would pick up on the listings, would incorporate them into their lists, and would then block your church site as containing viruses/pornography, etc.
That problem stopped after a while, so McAfee et al. must have figured it out and received enough complaints that they did something about it. But since the listings were happening outside of the country through foreign-language sites that I assume never tried to verify the listings, that’s how they got control over what the American anti-spam/anti-virus companies were doing.
I don’t know if similar games are being played with FR by folks who want to shut it down. It sure sounds like the same tactic by someone who wants to mess around with you. You may want to try to contact the IP folks at groups like Focus on the Family and the Family Research Council, because I think they have gone through similar things as well and may be able to help you with a response.
What will be interesting is if my response also gets the harmful virus block when I try to post it now.
Yep, it tried to block me.
M4L virus black list
I wouldn’t doubt it. Powerful entities like google have the ability to kill free speech by simply blacklisting sites like FR.
Too many people defending God, country, liberty here. We openly discuss Life, Liberty, marriage, patriotism, constitution, God, guns, etc, on this site. This marks us as dangerous extremists to the big government progressive socialist/fascist democrats.
