This is just so sad, not even accounting for the politics. Like, imagine not being able to watch your favorite Youtuber, or a popular tv show/movie, just because your leaders said no.

I've watched a lot of great content over my life, and I can't imagine the timeline where I missed out on it, just because I happened to live within a specific area on a map, borders arbitrarily drawn by people.
