I just tried rt.com and got a certificate error. I don't think they're out of the weeds yet. Good. Source: about 2 years ago

Rt.com is unavailable here right now, so yes, they seem to be doing something... Source: about 2 years ago

Did you see the threads about DDOS or 'reddit hugs'? I've been pinging rt.com for the past 20 mins. Source: about 2 years ago

If it's any consolation, it was top billing on cnn.com yesterday, which is where I first saw it. Entire top left of the screen was the woman's face and a huge headline. Now it's buried in a couple lines below the (digital) fold. Source: 4 months ago

I don't know what EasyList or uBlock are (i.e., I don't use those), but I got blocked by cnn.com as well. Firefox on Mac. Turns out it was the "I don't care about cookies" extension (automatically accept consent requests). Once I disabled that for cnn, it worked again. Source: 5 months ago
