Major conservative site blocked


"Heartland" covers a lot of ground and has a lot of readers.  It is a climate skeptic site, among other things.  I log onto it often.  But not today.  When I logged on to

https://heartlanddailynews.com/

I got the message:

THIS WEBSITE HAS BEEN BLOCKED

We blocked this website because it may contain malicious content and could be harmful to your devices


It's utter nonsense of course.  Heartland is just news and commentary.  The blocking appears to have been done by Telstra, the major Australian internet host.  So whether the site is blocked elsewhere I do not know.

The odd thing is that the parent site is still accessible:

It's blocked here in the US as well. FortiClient denies it because it is marked as a malicious website. Sounds like CENSORSHIP to me.

So FireFox in the US reports that the site has a security failure [expired certificate].

Edge lets me navigate to the page, but Avast Web Shield immediately warns me that they have "suspicious" connections - maybe an ad on the page is on someone's Spam List.

Opera opens the page without issues of any kind.

I don't think this is a "nefarious" censorship move - it may just be an out of date certificate on either Heartland's or some other associated website.
