    I rarely see it but it happens every now and then. And I sometimes get paywalls or videos are georestricted. And some websites don’t want to implement the GDPR and refuse service to european users.

    And Project Gutenberg (the book archive) had been blocked in germany for years.

    Btw there is a dedicated http error code proposed instead of just the 403: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_451
