Title: Google weirds out
Post by: Tapewolf on January 31, 2009, 09:48:38 AM
Is it just me, or has Google just died?  All the search results I'm getting are blocked - DMFA, Wikipedia, you name it.  Anyone else finding this?

**EDIT**

Actually, it's just blocked itself:

Dammit, now how am I going to access the Direct Marketing Fundraisers Association?

They appear to have fixed it now, but it seemed interesting enough to flag up.

I guess an update to their safety code was a little.... over zealous. Oh well, we live and learn.

Somebody put "/" into the list, from what I hear.

That's what the statement on Ars Technica said.  What I find odd about that though, is that youtube videos were unaffected for some reason according to Ars.

"We" realigned that project to have more embarrassment and less cleansing.
