Some countries imposes legal limitations on content.
By forbidding geo-blocking, content that is legal in other EU countries would suddenly need to be blocked across the EU, to prevent, for example, Germans from seeing/hearing it, because it's illegal in Germany.
Sounds like a freedom-supporting plan to me! (NOT!)

I found a method that worked for me - pass phrases. Since most sites are hashing your password anyway, why should there be an arbitrary limit on the LENGTH of the password? The most frustration I have had is when a site refused to accept my password, because the original password phrase was 35 characters long, and they had imposed a 16 character limit since I'd signed up for the service. "Oh, and you can no longer use a space as a character!"
For some of us, it's today... I have two processes where the data arrives as EBCDIC plus binary data, and the files are constructed to emulate a 200-byte tape record. I got to learn all about how COBOL represented numbers in various fields to get these running in 1991 and 2000, and still have to remember them when the people source the data need help remembering how it works.
They keep saying they want to sunset the applications that generate the EBCDIC data, but, in 15 years of saying that, they have yet to create a viable alternative.
Let's see... New factory to build displays in the US, but all the phone and computer manufacturing is where the existing factories are in SE Asia... Not very economically smart.
Apple doesn't build computers here, so why would they source screens here, ship them to China, then bring back the finished product? Or is Foxconn also planning an assembly plant here, where the display-less iPhones are assembled here?
I do development where I need to look at the source code of a page, to make sure that certain elements are present. The attitude that caching the page for even a fraction of a second is "bad" has made it very difficult to do this anymore - If I ask for the source, the browser claims the page is "expired", and demands to reload it. That changes what I'm looking for, making the request invalid.
Even trying to save the page locally requires that it be reloaded. It's become nearly impossible to check a page's actual content.
After all, when you consider how much attention people are paying to the "black levels" of their TV screens, and needing 4K resolution to keep their attention, that doesn't say much for the quality of the story telling in modern movie making.
... is to be able to fast forward through "instant replay". So you can watch a football game in the same time it took in 1970, or a baseball game in 2000.
We have most URL shortening services blocked on our email system. It's a policy that has been in place for years - in email, it does not matter how long or ugly the URL is, it should be fully there.
If a service has a way to view the destination without actually going there, we MIGHT let it through. But even that policy needs review. Maybe we just need to crank up the SpamAssassin score by 10.0 for each one found...
Not just recurring - how about an online order that won't ship (and, by most laws, can't be billed) for 6 weeks, or even a day? The number was valid when you placed the order, but not when it ships...
It's all a part of keeping Millennials employed. For every 4 smart phones, there's enough lost productivity to hire another Millennial to sit around and monitor social media to find out how much fun they had doing something.

Silly person - they won't ban Trump because the press NEEDS Trump on Twitter.
Without his tweets, how would they know what to complain about?

The original story was about a "hard stand"... This is about suing them. Totally different thing...
When you take a "hard stand", you wear the condom yourself - suing involves hiring others to wear the condoms.

Voice can help you understand the EMOTION behind a person's communication. But text is far better at passing INFORMATION.

... they got copies of hacking tools used by the NSA. Are the two related?
If so, why did the DNC have NSA hacking tools?
If not, what is the reason for tying the stories together?
