Zombies are running the international system

I was accessing a page regarding the war in Iran, and found that the page "twelve day war" is completely inaccessible, and returns this error. Simply searching for the page returns this error. Reloading the page, clearing cache, and using a different Firefox profile did not cause a change in the result. For some reason, taking a screenshot of the full page (but not part of the visible page) let me access the rest of the article (I have cropped most of it in the photo) this is the first time I have seen this on any article in the 15+ years I have been using Wikipedia.

Error:
An automated filter has identified this page view as potentially automated, so it has been blocked. Please report this error; you will automatically be granted access.

Pressing "Report error" doesn't show the article, it takes me here: SEE REPLY
Shouldn't this error apply to a particular user account, and not an entire article on a major topic?

@blaine I am thinking how to answer this.

This comes to mind https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=Fashionista as a conversation starter.

As a second, we are currently fighting for our mooring places here in Oxford, and the same #blocking mess is, and will, play out on the ground here as it does in the #openweb, it's a normal mess I am talking about.

Actually solving things, and why this matters for #OMN

Activism has a reputation problem, in default #mainstreaming storytelling it’s painted as chaos, absence, or naive idealism. But if you look at what activists at best actually do, a different picture emerges: a long tradition of people working out, in practice, how to solve real problems together without relying on distant authority. And that’s the bit most people quietly skip. In most social/political movements, the hard questions - how we organise, decide, share resources, resolve […]

#OMN Grounding (the roots as a story)

#techchurn is the endless cycle of adopting new platforms, tools, and technologies - not because they solve any real problems, but because novelty is mistaken for progress. It burns community trust, institutional memory, and activist energy, while leaving the underlying #nastyfew power structures untouched.https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=techchurn The #OMN uses #stupidindividualism to describe the culturally manufactured habit of prioritising personal gain and self-interest over collective […]

#OMN Grounding (the roots as a story) – #OMN (Open Media Network)

In the #OMN hashtag story, #compost means taking the failures, mistakes, and accumulated mess of past movements and tech projects - rather than discarding or ignoring them - and breaking them down into something that can feed new growth, treating dysfunction and #blocking dead ends as raw material for building better rather than as waste to be hidden.
