This is going to be very interesting to see the mechanics of this, since Microsoft claims newclimate.org is not on any blacklist….yet an individual organization can appeal to Microsoft to have the url unblocked and apparently it makes it work, but only for their organization.

That seems on its face like an impossible contradiction to me.

Interesting to me that this also blocks sending the IPCC report even as an attachment.

This certainly seems oddly targeted, but I doubt that Microsoft is intentionally to blame. More likely their infrastructure is compromised and someone is selling blacklisting as as service lol.

Or there is an out of control ML algorithm here or...

I could see some sort of whitelist that overrides some sort of machine learning based blocking.

Not to say it's super reasonable but that's the only reasonable thing I could think of, with perhaps not applying it wholesale being that it would allow spammers to just include a link in background color to bypass spam protection or something
