Twitter flagging unsafe site

[Angelnorth]

Hi Lydia, I did reply to a Tweet to alert you to this but thought I'd pop it here as well so I can give you a few more details.

When you post a shortened URL on Twitter, I get their "The site you were trying to visit may be unsafe" warning if I click on it. If you click through for more info, it points to this help page (all stuff I'm sure your tech guys know).

This started happening yesterday, no problems before that. I'm using Firefox v30.0 on a PC under Windows 7

No idea whether this means there's something wonky with database registrations again or whether there's something else going on but thought it worth raising.

ETA: other URLs using the same shortening are OK for me, it's just SCS that's being flagged.

Thank you Joanne! I saw that! Those links are actually Facebook's shortener & link so I need to investigate that - I'll test a direct link now. Thanks!!

Let me know if I can help with anything! Other shortened links I could click on with no problem also had the "fb" start that I assume means it's a Facebook shortner/link if that bit of info helps.

Actually - get this - it's TWITTER'S native link shortening t(dot)co that is listed as spam.

So the link comes from FB but Twitter converts it and it's listed on Spamhaus

(don't want to link to it and get us flagged - LOL)

Gah, I bet somebody's red-faced over that!
