Danger, Will Robinson!


Danger, Will Robinson!
Tom Crimmins

Got an email this morning from our benevolent overlord Google telling me that one of my posts has been "unpublished". Here's the key bit:
Why was your blog post unpublished?
Your content has violated our Malware and Viruses policy. 
The offending post contains a bunch of links, all of which were copacetic except for this one:

Chrome Warning Sign

Ignoring all their warnings and pushing past the red warning screen I got to the site, but then quickly got redirected to Sarah Westall's site, which seems to be legit.

Blocked by Chrome

The second time I tried to push past the warning I got this message.

Blogger Review Request Button

I changed the link for "made men" to Wikipedia's page, and pressed the Request Review button. We shall see what happens.

P.S. Just including the URL of the offending site, just as text, not as a clickable link, was enough to get this post bounced. If you want to visit the forbidden zone, you'll just have to type in the address yourself.

Update a couple of hours later: added a link to the offending post which has been reinstated.
