 Sigh. Google flagged https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2024/05/classic-rts-perimeter-returns-as-perimeter-legate-edition-with-linux-support/page=1/ as containing "Malicious or unwanted software" with no way on the adsense control panel to speak to them, to get them to recheck it. It's a news article about a game, that links to the GPL source code (GitHub) and a Steam page. What about that is "Malicious or unwanted software" exactly? 22 comments
 @gamingonlinux since you're still on X, maybe try pinging ArtemR from Android Police?  I guess Google got the memo (thanks?) as any mention of this has vanished. No word to me though... @gamingonlinux if they falsely mark stuff as malware, they should give a free visibility boost as a compensation... @gamingonlinux yeah "nobody's fault"  @gamingonlinux Everyone I know at Google left. Says it all. It might have better PR than twitter but the rest .. shrug @gamingonlinux Google flagging our site as malware drove us to retiring our forum back in 2019 - https://www.wsgf.org/article/google-flagging-wsgf-impacts-solutions It appears that the issue is much smaller in scope for you and we hope it can be solved by simply taking down the article if all else fails. In our case, removing the flagged files caused their algorithm to find and flag even more pages.  @gamingonlinux  @gamingonlinux last month Google flagged GitHub as insecure in my browser for a few minutes. I don't know what they're doing, but apparently they may consider GitHub unsafe at times?   @gamingonlinux it sucks that Google dominates web search. I've switched to using DuckDuckGo and Ecosia. I know Bing powers them, but still more refreshing to use those services. I hope Google doesn't keep you down!  |

@gamingonlinux Open source software :troll: (I have no idea but that would be Appleโs logic)
