Mixed

Results vary across foursquare.com: of 8 URLs tested, 3 are disrupted some of the time and 5 load normally. 801 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-02-18, the most recent on 2026-08-27.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://foursquare.com is intermittent, https://foursquare.com is not blocked.

The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
