If You Use Norton Anti-Virus with WebSafe…

First, if you do, I’d recommend canceling Norton Anti-Virus and getting something else. They are pricey, they constantly upsell, and it’s annoying. They have also flagged GraniteGrok.com as a Scam website.

If you access GraniteGrok through a web browser on a PC or laptop with Norton Anti Virus, running Web Safe (Mobile devices with Norton Web Safe may also be affected, but to date have produced no complaints of which I am aware), you will get this error and will not be allowed to visit the site.

Dangerous to lying Democrats, scheming Republicans, globalists, and the new world order, but not safe web browsing.

I have submitted a request (dispute) to have this corrected. We don’t collect any information, and we don’t keep or share anything except your comments, which you can add and remove yourself. The newsletter plugin has your email if you sign up, and that’s it. We don’t sell anything directly, and donations are handled by third-party payment processors whose data collection is between you and them.

There is literally nothing here that fits the browsing equivalent of a threat, other than the truth, and a platform that, with a few exceptions*, allows you to express your opinions, debate them, and even have your thoughts published by us.

*Trolls, haters, and anyone expressing implied or direct threats to groups or individuals (per the FAQ) will get booted.

I’m not sure if, or when Norton will address my dispute or correct the problem, but if you have Norton and can’t cancel it right away, or intend to keep it, you will need to go to settings/features, safe web, exclusions. Add https://granitegrok.com/

This will prevent WebSafe form blocing the website.

Thanks, and apologies for any inconvenience.

And yes, I am curious about who (if anyone) reported us to Norton as malicious scammers.

Censorious losers.
