This is coming up more and more.
I was wanting to view an article on history.com and received the title message.

Their explanatory note was - Due to business and legal constraints, we are no longer able to offer History.com content in certain territories.

So I wrote them a short missive to voice my displeasure.

“I am writing to voice my displeasure at businesses and lawyers restricting what I can view in the public domain.
Banning or denying countries access to a webpage or website is disgraceful.
“Owner Rights” is destroying the free exchange of information and I can see one day where the majority of sites will require subscriptions to view content.”

I always write to let companies know of my displeasure

Try to use Google in the Middle East. Even though Dubai is majority Engligh speaking, when you go on Goog, it automatically puts all instructions in Arabic and right-justifies everything. I have a VPN running 98% of the time. I only turn it off when I am forced to do so. I don’t even know what “English” looks like in Arabic, so I don’t even know how to change the prompts. Sorry, Goog. You’re too smart for you own good.
