Censorship?

Got this screen trying to access riu this morning. Spent 15 minutes with ATT and all they would offer is the web address to riu had changed. BS. I was on riu on my desktop simultaneously. They wouldn't speak to censorship or the authenticity of that "alert.websecurity.att.com" address being legit or theirs. After the call I was able to access through my phone once again. I attempted to pm admin with this image but it had some crazy characters/code and wouldn't permit it. Anyone had something similar occur. Any ideas as to what caused/cured denied access, allowed access?

If its anything like my phone contract in the UK i had to ring the phone company and ask them to remove all parental lock kinda things on the phone(they are installed as standard on every phone and you have to ask to opt out)

Was 20 minutes on live chat with att. Had to pull teeth just for them to confirm that the blocking website was theirs. There are no content filters or restrictions so this shouldn't have happened but it did. They have no reasonable explanation for it. Emailed the screen capture of the block to the rep I was chatting with. She seemed put out that I saved it. That had to go to "level 2" for review. They were courteous and accommodating but utterly unable to offer any kind explanation!

Thank you. I did also get an email back and it stated that the msg was auto-generated by the business dept. as a virus/malware protection tool.
I was concerned as to why it generated in the first place but... I've got better things to focus my attention on. Besides- if it was some kind of snooping/censoring oh well. If someone has nothing better to do than hassle an old man with a legit grow- Bite me.

That access denial message I received this morning just felt eery. Glad to see what Sunni posted about it. I pursued it w att no end. Call, email, and support chat. As far as I can tell it was some kind of bs on their business end. IDK about your tablet but the more I nose around here the easier it is to navigate.
