I think they've ALREADY started a campaign to flag 'extremist' websites and this needs to be addressed here at FR and quickly. I am noticing numerous pages flagged as attack pages.
I take that back...when trying to post I did have a warning from FF, but Appguard would have notified me if it were for real. No warning on any processes.
I got the same thing while attempting to post a comment.
Firefox gave a warning of “Reported Attack Page”
I clicked on “Why Was The Page Blocked” and it said the page was reported as a forgery of a legitimate site.
I suspect the threat is real, or some lefties are playing games. Either case, the lefties are at it.
I think it may be google. When you search for something on FR, every search result comes up with “This site may harm your computer”.
Google has a web page with instructions on how to fix this, but the site administrator needs to do it:
https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/45449?hl=en&rd=1
Remove the message from your site
The “This site may harm your computer” notice won’t be removed until the webmaster of the site takes action.
Try these steps to fix the issue if the message is showing on your site:
Yes, I got one trying to load the recent baseball (World Series) thread. Clicked to ignore it and it opened another tab, closed that tab after denying the cookie request, and things went back to normal. Glad you mentioned it, thought that it was just my machine.
This pops up on computers with Norton installed as I understand it.
Perhaps others can inform us if it shows up on their system as well.
I’m using FireFox with Norton installed and functioning.
I got it when replying to a thread, but not when accessing the threads directly.
Bush’s fault.
I got something similar when selecting a post that I was interested in following on Firefox but also thought it happened on my Safari, earlier today.
“Wait! Please don’t visit that site right now!
Google detected badware on the site you were visiting. Firefox uses Google’s blacklist to warn you about “Reported attack sites.” We understand that you may know and trust this site, but it’s possible for good sites to be infected with badware without the site owners’ knowledge or permission.
Who is StopBadware?
StopBadware is a nonprofit organization that fights badware. Google and Firefox link to us to help you understand the warnings. We also help website owners prevent and clean up badware websites.
I visited the site and didn’t see any badware
Many kinds of badware aren’t visible or obvious, and they can install silently as soon as you visit an infected page. Google’s detection systems are VERY accurate. We suggest you don’t visit the site again until the owner resolves the problem!”
Soros ping!
My guess is that someone "reported" freerepublic.com, and it wasn't properly reviewed.
If you would like to help us improve our data, you can submit reports to us. We also encourage you to allow your users to send reports directly to us by including these URLs in your product. The hl parameter in the URL is a language code, values such as "en" and "de" are supported, or you can omit this parameter.
