Unless you're dealing with some country in turmoil, at high risk of a revolution, and the government is currently engaged in suppressing dissent, the most likely case is that the content provider is making a business decision to exclude certain geographical locations. Could be market segmentation, could be them wanting to avoid having to follow a very good and beneficial set of laws, which prevents certain abuses and thus cuts into their profit margin (a well-known example here starts with "G" and ends with "R").

Either way, the point stands. Region-locked for bullshit reasons = not on the Internet.

If you can’t even serve out a piece of text without invading your visitors privacy you don’t deserve to be in business.

Or the site operators could simply use less invasive analytics/adtech.

It’s been a few years now, GDPR compliant analytics/advertising is a solved problem.
