Why is the US Green Party's site blocked?

My trivia league was blocked by Heathrow&#x27;s airport wifi because of &quot;games&#x2F;sports&quot;. I contacted Boingo, who told me they don&#x27;t block websites (? okay, so then your client operates a rogue blocklist that uses Boingo headers for the error page -- that&#x27;s even worse). I also tried contacting some sort of pseudo-government safe browsing list to see if it was their blocklist being used by Heathrow and got no response.<p>The annoying thing is not the false positives: these things happen, and mostly it&#x27;s not all that urgent to resolve immediately. The annoying thing is a total lack of obvious appeals process to resolve a false positive. At least the OP&#x27;s example is on GitHub and thus can easily be issued.

I&#x27;ve worked with several kinds of public blocking lists and one thing I learned is that they are all full of false positives. For whatever reason, I would not be surprised if just nobody ever noticed the mistake.

They probably got hacked ages ago and it was added at that point. I wouldn&#x27;t be assuming malice here.

I can no longer visit End-To-End encrypted sites anymore at work. It sucks because I use ProtonMail and end up having to use my phone to forward things from there or to my Google email, which I wanted to stop using entirely.
