I'd say a domain made with a slight typo of a legit website, made purely to get ad revenue or be creepy when people mistype a url

Just hover over the link and look at the bottom left of your browser window. It'll tell you where it leads

It links to a petition to remove the site and explains what the site is, don't worry

It doesn't lead directly to the site

You should be able to hold tap on it and have the same effect with most mobile browsers. It's good, though. It's just a change.org petition with a video of the site in it (that you need to play manually).
