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?

    I hit a lot of American sites that want to process my data in a malicious way that would be illegal.

    Rather than fix the issue, the side just redicts to a “we’re sorry to our European friends” - like fuck off, it’s been years you cunts.

    Anyway, to answer your question - it protects them from legal liability.
