GOOGLE SCAM causes the blacklist of this site

Post by Reeltarded »

You have to buy an SSL certificate or you get blacklisted.

Scam is the law...

How can we allow this world they are taking over?

I refuse.

I am calling for a general uprising and boycott of anything related to Google and it's parent company. Youtube is theft for artists. Google is you new master. Alphabet is fascism. Alphabet is also your governments.

Don't be afraid. Be ridiculous instead. I am done with a company who masquerades as my culture.

Got any proof of that?

As in:
- does google >>really<< require an SSL certificate?
- if google does require a certificate, does the site >>really<< not have one already?
- and if the above answers are "yes", does google >>really<< blacklist every site that doesn't have one?
- there are many certificate issuing authorities; if all three of the above are provably true, how does google make money from the non-google certificate issuing authorities?

And finally, a quick search (on duck duck go... :lol: ) turns up a number of free or low cost (i.e. under $10.00) certificate issuers. What possible reason could the site have for not popping $10 for a cert if that's all that's keeping it blacklisted? Especially in the face of offers of financial help from users, including me?

You might possibly be right, but Occam's Razor says that there is a much simpler explanation than a net-wide conspiracy by google and others to squeeze a few bucks out of every web site.

I'd love to see proof of your claim. Help me out here.

Good reading. It's interesting to note that they will tell you that web sites are not using up to date security in that one browser.

Note that none of that involves saying that any web site *is* an attack site, like TAG is already listed.
