This is going to make things worse for all kind of use cases that are legitimate but seem non-standard or marginal.

Heck, many websites I visit on the web cannot understand why I, a Ghanaian living in Ghana, might be interested in the service offered or the information therein. I am sometimes blocked for no good reason.

If you are in a third world country, the web is extra hostile. This is going make things worse.

It doesn't even take being in a "third world country".

Plenty of US websites are blocking access from EU IP addresses because of our data protection laws.

Local news companies are the biggest offenders in this regard.

Isn't this for enterprises managing access to corporate resources?
