Some websites are available only from US. Or some streaming service allows certain content only from US.

Why does such geo restriction exist? What is the benefit for the company to implement this?

    On top of all the legit reasons here my former, itsy bitsy company geo blocked everything not US/Canada because our customer base was entirely US based and that wasn’t changing. The only traffic we got from overseas ips was looking for vulnerabilities. So why not just block it.
