Why are you censoring websites?

This morning I was able to access the website of: https://www.alexander-wallasch.de/ Now, ONE HOUR later I no longer can. You are doing this not for the first time, it happens regularly with websites that do not conform to what you would consider Mainstream! THis is not the sites fault. YOU ARE CENSORING ON PURPOSE: IF YOU WOULD NOT; YOU COULD SIMPLY ADD A BUTTON for every site THAT ALLOWS USERS TO OVERRIDE YOUR OPINIONS: WHY IS THAT NOT HAPPENBING? Why can the user not override your decision? Has anyone ever asked you for "help" like that?

I think by reading the above it is clear there are many devices and protocols between you the client and the resource you want to access and none of us can fathom every step of that or at what second of any minute things may change.

So hopefully you have it now

Thank you, and basically: Yes. But one thing puzzles me... why does it work at one time and an hour later it will not? Given the same vectors? Also.... who is it that authorises something like cloudflare to prevent me from accessing websites. I was just contacting a dutch government site, the health ministry, and cloudflare told me that was suspicious, and did not let me through at first. I suppose the realistic question is: Who pays cloudflare for such "services"?
