That's often true. However, in this case when visiting the linked page[0] I am able to connect and view the article without issue.
Some details:
Location: USA
Browser: Firefox 128.14.0esr
Ublock Origin running with mostly default settings
Perhaps there's a location blocking issue and/or malware that targets certain locations/browser types?
