Elderofzion (pro-Israel blog) says Twitter temporarily marked links to his site as unsafe too

He includes a snapshot of the twitter message, quote :"potentially harmful or associated with a violation of twitter's terms of service". The latter part of the sentence is what I'm referring to.
Twitter's warning then lists specific possibilities, saying "the link could lead to a site that:"

"steals your password..."
"installs malicious software..."
"..."
"has been associated with a violation of twitter's terms of service"

This last part enables twitter to mark links unsafe if they're politically incorrect (hate speech is presumably a violation, islamophobia can be too) while making the user think the link may lead to his computer's security being compromised. Twitter is being deliberately vague in order to exploit people's fears, conflating the crybully 'unsafe' with the classical definition.

p.s Even in the link you provided, buried somewhere is:
"What's a potentially unsafe site?
Unsafe sites may include phishing sites... malicious software... or sites associated with other violations of Twitter's Terms of Service".
