Having a worldwide responsibility is tiring and sometimes cost some money and time.
Working with ISO codes (Country and Languages) is fun; more fun is when you don’t know nothing about geography but you have to learn :D so, we start learning using these very interesting features.
Updates 07/07/2023: now the owner of the content- [Content Owner: the owner(s) of a content (usually includes all owners of the network that shared it)] - can select if “allow some country” or “block some country” before selecting the country to allow/block; if the option to check automatically the informations of shared contents- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - is selected, the geoip feature will be applied automatically for external websites.
Behind the scenes
Today we are testing some new cool features on MYETV called “GEOIP restrictions”; behind the scenes: we have stored classes of IPs of all the Country around the world with its longitude and latitude, the goal of this feature is to let you chose (the owner of the content) to restrict access- [Access the simple access to a website as a visitor] - or only the visibility of the content- [Contents: every content intended as text, images, audio or video] - for any Nation in the world. You can select one or more Country, or entire continents, to restrict the access and you can chose if restrict the “visibility of the content” (in timelines and in the feeds) or if restrict the entire “access at the content” (the access to the content is proibithed if not match the country selected) or both. Under the Privacy Options of every of your contents there is a check box and you can chose if enable or not the GEOIP restrictions. This settings will take effect on your contents, in the Network of Contents- [Network of Contents: is the channel in which owners can post their content and the audience can see the contents posted by the owners] - too, in the PlayWall too and whenever a user (others than the owner) request that content. Owners of the content can always see their contents.

Thanks to CloudFlare and our coders at MYETV we can offer this feature free for all our users, in a decentralized way. I hope you will like this feature and that is free for everyone who share contents- [Sharer: the section of the platform with which the networks can share content, inside or outside of the platform] - .
We will implement this feature also for some MYAPPS- [MYAPPS: applications that the owners of the networks can build within them to add additional functionality to the content or to the entire network] - to let the owner decide the target of that app.
