I am seeing more of this message when visiting EU sites, have you run across this.

Some news sites started charging for their content that might explain it

[saucyadele]

Wasn't there some European law passed this year where they were blocking or was it charging sites for their new feeds?

It's copyright and licensing restricting it in some geographical regions.

Why not post the message "Our website is not available in your area"

[Boner]

With more sites charging for their content to be used this will become more common

This sounds more like an age verification thing to me ???

Aren't there some states now in the USA where sites can be fined if they don't age restrict their content ??? If a company is based in Europe, then they have no way of verifying a users age in the USA. We have no way of verifying a USA passport or drivers license so the only option is to geo block that state.

I think Pornhub has already done this in a few places

True Pornhub has blocked some states for the age verification laws
