eta: ugh you can barely read that
Hello,
Twitter has systems that blocks the posting of suspected harmful URLs in order to make Twitter safer and more secure for our users. If you see a warning about malware or spam when attempting to send a Tweet with a URL, this means the URL may have been flagged by our systems as potentially harmful.
If you manage the domain of the reported URL, please take the following actions:
Check to see if the URL is a suspected malware or phishing site; you can view Google's diagnostic report of the URL by visiting this link: http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/diagnostic?site=http://example.com (replacing "http://example.com" with the URL that is blocked)
If your website is showing up as a malware threat, you'll need to clean up any outstanding malware threats before your URL will be un-flagged. You can find out more information on how to clean your site of malware threats at Google's Resources for Websites and Site Owners: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/163633?rd=1
Even if Google's diagnostic report of the URL is clean, we may decide to continue blocking the URL on Twitter as potentially harmful. If the URL of the site you manage is being blocked and you are sure that your site is not being used for abuse on Twitter, reply to this email to let us know. Please make sure you cannot Tweet your URL before responding to this message.
Thanks,
Twitter Support
