No, you can watch the content of whatever region you currently inhabit. Just like there is a different set of shows on TV while you are on vacation in Spain, there is Spanish netflix on the internet (dumb old media contracts).
If you use technical means to pretend to inhabit another region, they will try to stop you as the article describes.

It's so easy to make mistakes when talking about this, with double and triple negatives that don't necessarily cancel out. I made one myself in the above comment before editing it.

Please don't use this language. Your suggested quote implies the null hypothesis has been confirmed. In fact, the null hypothesis has simply not been rejected. A better summary would be: "We did not find any proof that submitting articles at a certain time of day is an effective strategy to achieve front page visibility."
