Regarding A, for which timezones? Any attempt to narrow browsing time would ultimately fail as soon as the web goes global.

Regarding A, for which timezones? Any attempt to narrow browsing time would ultimately fail as soon as the web goes global.
- YossarianFrPrez 5y agoGood question. Ideally, each user's timezone would be required information. The server would check to see if the requesting user's local time meant that the website should be "open" for them.
- bruce343434 5y agoA minute of silence for those with unusual circadian rythms.
- bmcooley 5y agoHonestly this would probably just make VPN services more widely used to workaround shutdowns.
- YossarianFrPrez 5y agoTrue, unless the timezone was tied to each user's accounts. The website doesn't have to "not work" it just has to return a page that says something to the effect of "we are closed for business."
- sithlord 5y agoSo a user couldn't just change their timezone? What if they moved? Also who is this to protect? The user? What if they work midnights or their days are backwards?
- touristtam 5y agoThere are cases where the business shouldn't promote the use of its website at odd hours (child protection, gambling addiction and other similar things).
