MSN Article Blocked for Malware

Anonymous

An article link on MSN home page was blocked for malware by Malwarebytes and Chrome.

Msn.com content has been pretty bad recently (likely untouched by human hands), but this is over the top.

I have reported using the feedback button. I was going to ask if there is any better way to get the attention of MSN/Microsoft, but I somehow lost the link and the article has disappeared, so maybe I did get their attention.

Anybody know why this is allowed to happen to begin with?

    1. Their definition of malware may be too broad.
    2. The feedback link, usually at the bottom of the MSN page, was the right way to report this.
    3. Ads and other content on webpages can change frequently.

    Hi

    Thanks for your reply.

    I may have expressed myself inaccurately causing you to misunderstand, not MSN/Microsoft is posting illegal content. Rather, it is the result of certain articles or news that may violate the relevant guidelines. You can provide the link to the blocked article you mentioned so I can help you check it.

    That raises the obvious question, why is MSN/Microsoft publishing articles that contain illegal content?

    Hi

    Welcome to Microsoft community.

    I'm glad to help you.

    Some articles on msn may not be viewed properly because they involve some illegal content and comments.

    If you want a more effective way to give feedback, you can open edge and press Alt+Shift+I at the same time to submit your problem feedback.

    Thank you for your understanding and support.

    Best regards
