There are a variety of reasons why ISPs will prevent you from accessing sites such

as OK. Here are several:

 The website contains illegal content.


 Governments, courts, or regulatory authorities ordered ISPs to block these
sites.
 The Internet Watch Foundation advised ISPs to block them.

Common reasons to block OK include protecting copyright ownership and


complying with a country’s censorship laws.

 There are many countries, such as North Korea, Iran, and China that block
their citizens from accessing certain written material for political and
religious reasons.
 Copyright laws for published materials can be vastly different around the
world. Europe and North America have strong copyright and intellectual
property protection laws for written works. Other countries may have very
weak or even no protection at all for these works.
