That’s my question. I’ve launched many fresh websites that have not been marked as unsafe by Google. If they were habitually doing this, there would be far more reports of it.

- bilkow 8mo agoEven if the false-positive rate is very small (e.g. 0.01%), you probably won't be affected, but more than a hundred thousand of websites would be and that would still be an issue. I have no idea how big is the false-positive rate. There are many of reports of the same happening to other sites, some of the top ones (you can find many more by searching HN for "google safe browsing"): - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33526893 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33526893 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25802366 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25802366 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45675015 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45675015
