A curious thing happened this weekend: my websites were listed by Google as being dangerous to visitors. A full red screen with warnings about my website, scaring all by the maniacs away.

I was able to recover from this by doing one thing then asking for a review. The one thing I did: get rid of the anti-bot code. I use Cloudflare as my DNS, and this site uses their proxy a service which monitors a lot of activity as the data moves through their servers between my servers and you. One thing it does is add a small bit of code that runs on your computer to see if you are a person or a program, called Picasso. Google invented it. When a client appears to be a computer (a bot), Cloudflare stops returning data. 

And Google took this to be an attempt to steal your data.

What they really did was force me to remove that code. Or my visitors could use another browser, but that's not likely as I can't communicate that to them, because of that big scary warning screen.

So now my websites are all available to bots like Google, and any other malefactor who is stealing my websites.

Google deserves to go.

UPDATE 28 NOV 2022: Google is doing it again, marking YunoHost login pages as dangerous. Idiots. Or very poor programmers who are clueless as to what the web is now, as if they haven't figured out that people log into web sites these days.
