Legal Terms – Geoblocking
The implementation of technological measures to limit a user's access to specific Internet content based on nationality or geographical location. This may be due to copyright or licensing considerations, enforcement of local laws (e.g., banning gambling), or maintenance of regional price disparities. The EU's Geoblocking Regulation 2018/302 (which is inapplicable in the UK post-Brexit) seeks to eliminate "unjustified" geoblocking practices, including those that obstruct online sales to customers in other member states or impose varying prices or sales conditions based on nationality, residence, or establishment location. The utilization of technology to circumvent geoblocking is presently a legal ambiguity in numerous nations.
