It may be a result of people accessing it through an insecure connection (http). You can most likely fix this by going to your blog settings, scrolling down to the HTTPS section and turning on http redirects to https. <br />CheersJamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498956157620426468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-5270983497702414392021-05-24T22:49:01.789+12:002021-05-24T22:49:01.789+12:00Ken Orr said.Thank you Karl for your excellent art...Ken Orr said.Thank you Karl for your excellent article exposing the threat that this dangerous bill poses for our human rights of free speech, assembly and communication.We should not forget our right to religion as this bill will allow the government to decide where we may pray.

Google will warn users if enough reports are made. Someone automatic kicks in, your site gets flagged, and people get directed away from it.<br /><br />This is not the sort of trouble an ordinary blogger in New Zealand should be having, however. The above implies a degree of organisation and budgeting. This is more likely to happen to someone who has published information deemed to be related to an active security matter or matters by at least one state interest.Johnstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14985222390326872017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442430064359197279.post-59343098549625036882021-05-16T17:05:56.111+12:002021-05-16T17:05:56.111+12:00Hi Karl, as blogger.com and blogspot.com are both ...Hi Karl, as blogger.com and blogspot.com are both owned and run by Google I would be surprised if they were ‘technical’ security warnings. More likely an over zealous algorithm designed to flag ‘unsafe’ content, and subsequently being corrected. Probably means you are on the margins of acceptability.

You alluded to this a few weeks ago and it's something I've always been skeptical of. It's worth reading Ms Bellamak's blog posts on ALRANZ to understand her way of thinking a little more - it's just plain weird. <br />It also surprises me (perhaps it doesn't really - but worth noting) that Ms. Bellamak is the go to person by the media for all things "pro-abortion" in this country. A look through their website and lodged paperwork, ALRANZ appears to be nothing more than her own mouth piece with only a few hundred dollars in subs collected each year.

For them the end fully justifies the means, any means. The only saving grace of this government is its incompetence. It's more than likely they intended to have their "hate speech" law in place before He Puapua became public knowledge. Any questioning of its contents could then have been prosecuted as racism. We have David Seymour to thank for springing that cat from its bag prematurely. With the so-called "safe areas" and proposed "hate speech" legislation we see a government laying the groundwork for full-on State repression.Odysseushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04745489060434244478noreply@blogger.com
