A message I hadn't seen before

I just got '451 Unavailable For Legal Reasons
Sorry, this content is not available in your region.' when I tried looking at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer website from London. I am surprised not that things are blocked in different reasons, but that this is one of them, and that it came back as a vanilla HTTP error message.

Yeah, that's probably it.

I think this is probably the most likely reason - I've been having similar issues since the General Data Protection Rules went into effect in Europe. I ended up sometimes using The Wayback Archive as a work-around, if I was desperate to see the content I'd originally clicked on.

Sympathies that it ended up hitting your own enjoyment of the Internet.

Crazy(and wondering if those website writers will change their code with regard to Brexit...)Soph
