I think this just means you're from a respected country or IP block (or email or phone carrier), and so your existence online doesn't provoke suspicion? :)

I know some people dislike being reminded of this, but I share it because I'm personally always grateful to notice a new edge of it in my own experience: it's perhaps a dimension of privilege (which is neither good nor bad, just something to know that one [might] have, often in some subtle or hidden dimensions and not in others)
