  1. My university uses #Geoblocking of known evil countries.

    #Geoblocking is a very sensible and appropriate security measure, as it ensures that

    only those with evil and hostile intentions get to your sites -
    because for those, geoblocking is easy to circumvent -

    while all normal naive believers in global connectivity - such as scientists, academics, students - are left out.

    I commend the use of #geoblock

  6. @isAutonomous @ZDF Du hast mit VPN halt vermutlich auf Clientseite keine #Biodeutsche IP. #Geoblocking ist auch so etwas dass dem Grundprinzip der Ende-zu-Ende Kommunikation widerspricht.

  7. @ZDF ich würde die ja gern mit den Kindern sehen, jetzt, wo wir Zeit dafür haben, im Urlaub.
    Leider lässt #geoblocking das nicht zu.

  8. @rafa_font @ilumium @edri Because industry nepobabies like Miu Miu's daughter and Scandi bro hacks like Östlund keep lobbying national politicians and MEPs for #geoblocking ?

    "without geoblocking, there would be fewer European films and big English-language movies could dominate the market."

    They already do, Ms. Pochon. because nobody can produce anything for the 450 million spectators in the EU because of your stupid corporatist gatekeeping bullshit geoblocking.

  9. RE: mastodon.ar.al/@aral/116190234

    Fairphone is also geoblocking access to their support forums. Have fun travelling and trying to set up a new SIM!

    (I'm not buying their stuff again...)

  10. Celebrating #DigitalIndependenceDay with a practical win: for 2+ years I’ve run #Headscale as a self-hosted, #OSS control plane for #Tailscale clients. Beside classic #VPN use cases (untrusted networks, #geoblocking), this self-hosted alternative to "#VPN as a service" enables #privacy and reduces exposed #metadata. The full mesh #WireGuard network offers great performance and low latency, connecting your satellite services.

  11. @ignacyy @arte Best thing about the ARTE platform is this:

    arte.tv/pl/videos/RC-026488/cz

    They just added Romanian as a 7th language, which is great. But all of this costs money and since we're in the middle of negotiating the EU budget, I really wish @voltdeutschland et al weren't such bougie dweebs [lovingly] who can't seem to articulate for normies the link between the 🇪🇺 budget and 🇪🇺 NOT having a pan-European broadcaster in all 24 languages (there's also #geoblocking, but one step at a time...)

  12. Und der nächste kleine Erfolg.

    Eine Recycling App, die uns sagen soll wie wir ein bestimmtes Teil am Besten und wo entsorgen hatte Geoblocking. Mir wurde vorgeschlagen, doch einfach mein Telefon auf ein anderes Land einzustellen. Ich hab dann zurück geschrieben, dass das nicht mal eben so einfach geht.

    Ein paar Mails gingen hin und her…

    Jetzt haben sie die App für 175 Länder freigegeben. 🤩

    Mühsam ernährt sich das Eichhörnchen…

  13. Du bist die schnellste Maus von México und kannst ein Geo-Blocking nicht umgehen?
    Probiers mal mit einem Addon für Deinen Browser (hoffentlich Firefox): Proxy, Geoblocking, VPN.

  14. Nutzt du einen VPN-Dienst?

    Es gibt ja unterschiedliche "VPN" Anbieter, die auch sehr viele Versprechen machen. Auch preislich gibt es da sehr unterschiedliche Klassen, von kostenlos bis übertrieben teuer.
    Mittlerweile gibt es auch so viele Anbieter, dass man leicht den Überblick verliert.
    Es gibt aber auch Software zum selbst hosten, die ähnliche Aufgaben erledigen.

    Mich würde mal interessieren:

    • Was verwendest du?
    • Wie verwendest du es?
    • Warum hast du dich dafür entschieden?
    • Würdest du es weiterempfehlen?

  15. Der Europäische Gerichtshof prüft, ob #Geoblocking bei #Streaming-Diensten als wirksame Maßnahme im EU-Urheberrecht gilt. Eine gegenteilige Entscheidung könnte das System der territorialen Lizenzvergabe ändern. winfuture.de/news,156245.html?

  16. Anne-Frank-Tagebuch: EuGH-Generalanwalt stärkt Geoblocking trotz VPN-Umgehung

    Gegen uferlose Haftung von Webseitenbetreibern positioniert sich Generalwalt Rantos in einem Gutachten zum Urheberrechtsschutz der Tagebücher Anne Franks.

  18. If Ofcom want to stop UK people visiting a non-UK website, they need to stop the UK people, not tell the non-UK website to work to prevent the UK hordes

    This should be obvious, no?

    It’s how we deal with football hooligans:

    Football (Offences and Disorder) Act 1999 (Notes)

    …The measures proposed would provide recourse to the law to prevent a range of offenders from attending matches in this country and travelling to and attending designated matches abroad.

    One could try to argue “Yes but we have regulations to force football teams and stadia to stop hooligan violence…” — and yes we do, but that regulation applies only to the UK; the foreign teams & stadia have their own laws.

    Maybe they’re looking for a way to avoid painting all Britons as potential Internet hooligans?

  19. EU media have long supplied local language works - YouTube arrives at the party! YT launches multi-lang audio post 2-yr pilot, w/ creators noting 25%+ watch time from non-primary lang views. #geoblocking #europeanmedia #mediaplurality techcrunch.com/2025/09/10/y... #film #television

    YouTube’s multi-language audio...

  20. Well that is the first #work related thing I've seen affected by #OnlineSafetyAct #geoblocking. The repo.or.cz source repository isn't available to those in the #uk.

  21. @darnell
    I did some reading on the counter.social site. Turns out they had a bit of a spat with @Gargron over their geoblocking, and got instance blocked by mastodon.social and other instances who follow his blocklist. So they forked Mastodon and stripped out the federation code.

  22. New #EUelections2024 campaign idea just dropped @karmel80

    EU citizens in all 27 countries have access to a livestream of their MEP beating Ruben Östlund over the head with an unabridged copy of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union open at Article 101.

    Is there a safe and easy way around geoblocking on Youtube?

  25. Do I see it correctly that the EP’s 2015 initiative report on #Copyright was more progressive and bold than the one we are getting now?

  26. (2/3) Conglomerates like #ZiffDavis (#IPVanish, #StrongVPN, #SaferVPN, encrypt.me), #KapeTechnologies PLC (#ExpressVPN, Private Internet Access #PIA, #CyberGhost VPN, #ZenMate, #PrivateVPN), Nordsec Ltd (#NordVPN, #Surfshark, #AtlasVPN). They have high-paying #affiliate programs to reward "recommendations"; some even run their own "VPN ranking / recommendation" sites 😏: possibly acceptable for bypassing #censorship or #geoblocking, IMHO not trustworthy wrt privacy.

  27. @autonomysolidarity @eff The is already a where people can get jailed for refusing to self-incriminate themselves for yesrs...

    The only valid reaction is to unilaterally reject any requests from the per principle if not literally blocklist all their agencies from being able to eMail, call, fax or otherwise contact one if not visitors and forcibly redirecting them to an info page explaining why the service is taken down for them.

  30. The EU notifies Apple of "potentially prohibited geo-blocking practices" on the App Store and other apps, urging compliance with EU anti-geo-blocking rules. 🚨⚖️ Will Apple face new regulatory hurdles? #Apple #EU #GeoBlocking #TechRegulation #AppStore #EULaw #DigitalMarket #TechNews
