The TinyURL link you are visiting is Blocked or Blacklisted. TinyURL has a
strict no abuse policy and we apologize for the intrusion this may have caused
you.

Proceed Anyway

HOW BLACKLISTING WORKS AT TINYURL

TinyURL partners with several organizations and databases to address the issue
of fraud, spam, and other harmful digital activity. We also note harmful pages
identified by users who file support tickets.

When a TinyURL link redirects to a site flagged by one of our partners, we
redirect to this page (this very page!).

If you run into any false positives or feel like your content has been falsely
blacklisted, we highly encourage you to contact our support team so we can
review the listing and recommend fixes as necessary.

WHAT IS BLACKLISTING?

Blacklisting happens when a website, search engine, or other authority flags a
link due to malicious or suspicious behavior that has been deemed dangerous to
users. This can result in warnings like the one you see above, or even flat-out
denial of access for the sake of security.

 


WHAT CAN CAUSE A LINK TO GET BLACKLISTED?

CRIMINAL IN NATURE

Social engineering sites (or as they’re commonly known, phishing sites) attempt
to defraud users into giving away sensitive or personal information, or trick
them into installing harmful applications.

HARMFUL APPLICATIONS

Other pages can even attempt to download and run or install harmful applications
(malware) directly to users’ devices.

VIOLATING LAWS OR SPECIFIC TERMS OF USE

When a site or page has been identified as violating laws or specific terms of
use without causing direct harm to users. Pages that perpetuate targeted
cyberbullying, for example, while the user may be safe, the page itself is
instrumental in causing third-party harm.

 


CAN AN HONEST LINK GET BLACKLISTED?

While the process of blacklisting can be useful given how common bad actors are
on the internet, it can’t claim to be 100% accurate.

Sites using harmful plug-ins (bad components) despite their best intentions can
rightfully get blacklisted one day, and then address the problem the next
day—but there might be a delay between fixing the problem and getting removed
from a blacklist.

Likewise, there are rare occasions where sites get blacklisted without having
any harmful elements to begin with. This has a fairly low chance of happening
when an authority has a robust system in place for blacklisting—but no system,
automated or staffed, is 100% free of errors.

These are called “false positives”, and they can be a problem for site owners
and businesses that get called out under false pretenses.
