Some service providers and search engines and yada yada, get some funny ideas into their little digital brains.

Many years ago when I was new to the internet, I came across a link to the Iceland Amateur Radio Club website, and try as I may I could not access it.
I looked at all sorts of security settings in the browser but something just kept saying that I did not have permission to look at the site.
Eventually I used a different search engine and accessed the site no problem.

Only then did it occur to me that something did not want me to look at www.ira.is

For those who do not know, the IRA is an Irish terrorist organisation.
It is just unfortunate that Islenskir Radioamatorar has an identical set if initials.

That seems like a version of the Scunthorpe problem
 
Here in Australia I work at a school. Their internet is very controlled such that sites are only available if requested and approved. Happy to say, I requested access to this site and it was approved. I believe the approvement(sp?) will only be taken away if the site starts to show things not student appropriate such as swearing, conspiracies, porn etc. Gladly, it hasn't.

Funnily enough, now I'm back at work after three months off, it's also blocked by our ISP (a long range WiFi supplier) as well, it was OK last time I was at work - however, we now also have a mobile phone router/modem which not only gives faster speeds, but also allows access to this site
 
A few years ago an acquaintance was performing an installation job in China.
He required a particular rivet, but searching on the web would return “access forbidden” messages.
Not until a Chinese colleague entered the actual Chinese characters for the term, was he able to find something.

He was puzzled with the event, and never found the answer.
But speculated that, when spelled in latin characters, perhaps the Chinese search engine somehow was associating rivet with Tibet, an out of bounds topic in China.
