A User Says That My Profile Page No Longer Exists

Updated yesterday

If someone reports that your page no longer exists, or they can’t see your profile even after following a direct link, it’s likely because your geo-blocking settings are preventing access from their location.


What is Geo-Blocking?

Geo-blocking is a technique used by websites or platforms to restrict access to certain content based on a person’s location. It works by detecting the user's IP address (which is associated with their geographic location) and then blocking or limiting access to content or services based on that location.


How Geo-Blocking Works

  • When you visit a website, your IP address is used to identify your location.

  • Based on its settings, the website may restrict certain users from specific regions or countries (for example, blocking access to certain videos, content, or features).

  • This can be done for various reasons, like adhering to local laws, regulations, or providing region-specific content.
