I would've done the same thing.

It's going to be a weird set of content on this website. Are they going to livestream La Liga sports?

I happen to write this from Poland and I don't recall a single newspaper being geo blocked here. Not nyt, not washington post not anything I've ever accessed.

And didn't see US gov website geo blocked either.

So I ask again: which newspapers and which gov websites?

Btw. asking once is enough ^^

Here's a HN thread about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27854663

(I worked with Nexstar and experienced this directly. Looks like this may have changed recently.)

That's a good start (might not be 100% up-to-date, but vast majority of them are still 451 blocked).

The search AIs tell me it's around a third of people.

I changed my system timezone to Germany and it worked without issues, so I was wondering if it’s a very bad geoblock or something else entirely

Maybe there's some sort of legal immunity the US government could grant to domestic sites which would allow them to lift those blocks without fear of reprisal?
