sites.google.com

The same outfit is runimg a domain called blogger.

Reminds me of MS blocking a website of mine for dangerous script. The offending thing i did was use document.write to put copyright 2025 (with the current year) at the end of static pages.

My work's email filter regularly flags links to JIRA and github as dangerous. It stopped being even ironically amusing after a while.

Microsoft's own Outlook.com flags Windows Insider emails coming from a .microsoft.com domain as junk even after marking the domain as "no junk". They know themselves well.

Frequent frustration past week for me:

The integrated button to join a Microsoft Teams meeting directly from my Microsoft Outlook Calendar doesn't work because Microsoft needs to scan the link from Microsoft to Microsoft for malware before proceeding, and the malware scanning service has temporary downtime and serves me static page saying "The content you are accessing cannot currently be verified".

I feel like the GitHub one might be okay since a lot of malware binaries are hosted there still.

To be fair, that's a legally invalid copyright notice.

sites.google.com is widely abused but so practically any site which allows users to host content of their choice and make it publicly available. Where google can be different is that they famously refuse yo do work which they cannot automate and probably they cannot (or don’t want) to automate detection/blocking of spam/phishing hosted on sites.google.com and processing of abuse reports.

The nerve of letting everyone run a phishing campaign on sites.google.com but marking a perfectly safe website as malicious.

Enshitification ensues.
