Independent News Site Fraudulently Blacklisted by Internet Explorer After Negative Bill Gates Article
Is the Internet Blacklist already being enforced via web browsers? Microsoft’s Internet Explorer recommended that visitors should not access Activist Post today, claiming the site contains threats to outside computers. First, we want to assure all of our visitors that this is blatantly FALSE. Our site does not contain any viruses, malware, or data-harvesting capabilities. We have a voluntary and confidential sign-up mechanism for our free weekly newsletter, which apparently now falls under the category of illegal data mining according to Microsoft.
Our website runs on a Google Blogger back-end which immediately declines any material that may be “malicious.” This back-end also makes it easy for us to scan our entire site for potential viruses or other problems. This scan is, and always has been, 100% clean. Furthermore, our technical team ran a check at Website Grader which tests various aspects of a site, including cleanliness Activist Post scored a 97% (FAR above the average). Yet, Microsoft has taken an anonymous tip from a user as enough evidence to deter access to our site. Meanwhile, other browsers such as Chrome, Safari, and Firefox have similar malware protection, yet none of them flagged Activist Post today.
What’s interesting about the timing of this possible censorship is that it comes on a day when we posted an article that reflects negatively on Bill Gates. It appears that his empire carries out vendettas by deterring access to websites not favorable to their overlord. We did receive a complaint through our contact form from a reader listing the e-mail address: office@heavenaboveyourlife.com. This email address is not valid and the domain is not currently registered.
