A recent surge in geo-restrictions has left many streaming services unavailable to users across various regions of the country. This sudden blockage affects a wide range of popular streaming platforms, including Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. The main cause behind this restriction is attributed to ongoing disputes between content providers and streaming giants over licensing agreements.
In response to these restrictions, some users have taken to utilizing virtual private networks (VPNs) or proxy servers in an attempt to bypass geo-restrictions and access their preferred streaming services. However, authorities have issued warnings about the risks associated with using these tools, emphasizing that they may be against the law.
The reasons behind these geo-restrictions remain unclear, but it is speculated that streaming services are taking measures to protect intellectual property rights. Furthermore, this development highlights the ongoing struggle between content providers and streaming giants in securing licensing agreements for global access.
As of now, no official statement has been made regarding the duration or potential lifting of these restrictions.
