I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:
People in Canada can’t view this content.
Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.
This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:
https://archipelago.gg/
It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games
I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.
