I just stumbled upon a website that returned an #httpstatuscode451 (unavailable for legal reasons) because I am ‘attempting to access this #website from a country outside of the United States’.
What a heap of #bullshit! If you decide to service only one nation, it’s just #httpstatuscode403 (forbidden).
451 is for #censorship, not for #lazyness!
If you don’t want to comply with #GDPR and see it as censorship – fine – use 451 if you must, but lock out #eea countries only! 🤦

At the top right corner it claims that Linux can mutate [wrong!] whereas Windows 2000 Server would provide all the services by Microsoft in one package [obvious lie again!]...](https://files.mastodon.social/cache/media_attachments/files/112/485/033/649/116/970/small/21dae15973c6b03a.jpg)
