Welcome to Aotearoa, where history is doomed to be repeated!
- Kodiack 2y agoI wonder what us kiwis did to deserve this.
- jaydeegee 2y agoYou guys haven't been great at sharing the Bledisloe Cup with us Aussies. That said also geoblocked here in Australia.
- MattGaiser 2y agoGDPR related perhaps? A lot of sites just blocked everyone outside USA/Canada due to that.
- ElFitz 2y agoGDPR doesn’t apply to New Zealand. Although I’d gladly welcome our Kiwi friends into the EU.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoGDPR is specifically applicable to EU citizens globally.
- ElFitz 2y agoYes, I simplified. But that still wouldn’t explain why the webpage isn’t available in New Zealand.
- averageRoyalty 2y agoSo then logically, wouldn't you geoblock earth for compliance reasons?
- dotancohen 2y agoFrom the fine article: > Yamaguchi was born in Nagasaki, Japam, on March 16, 1916. Either biography.com doesn't proofread, or their proofreader is on vacation in New Zealand and can't access the content either.
- keyle 2y agoSame here. "Let's have a dot com and block large parts of the world from accessing it"
- jp0d 2y agoI can't access it in Australia either.
- tagh 2y agoMy best guess is an over-zealous response to some content licensing deal.
- jackvalentine 2y agoAs annoying as this is - at least it's a very simple HTML page error that loaded instantly. That made me feel glad?
- microflash 2y agoTo be fair, this ain't available in India either.
