"In 2015, we stepped up our efforts to fight phishing sites, blocking nearly 7,000 sites as a result." One of the 7000 "phishing sites" they blocked was a page on my personal site (http://xpda.com/f18ebay/ http://xpda.com/f18ebay/) that has been there more than 10 years and has nothing to do with phishing. It's not an important or high-traffic page, but it was irritating nonetheless to be falsely accused by Google and, as a result, a several other web institutions.
- dfabulich 11y agoWhat is it? Is it supposed to be a parody? It honestly looks like the site is trying to impersonate a (silly) eBay listing.
- wmeredith 11y agoYeah, it may be a joke, but it's obviously intended to deceive, which is what they're after. Why would this need to be in their index?
- phonon 11y agoif you like it so much, save the page as a png and host that instead. http://imgur.com/2cshB5p http://imgur.com/2cshB5p
