Some websites are available only from US. Or some streaming service allows certain content only from US.

Why does such geo restriction exist? What is the benefit for the company to implement this?

    Europe was named after the Greek Phoenician princess Europa, same as the planet was. Also a lot of languages call the continent Europa. You could almost consider it to be the more accurate name.

      Didn’t know about the name origin, thanks. But context also matters.

        And under the given context, you thought it was more likely they were talking about a moon of Jupiter then a continent? “Context matters” after all

        If you can’t figure out the context by the general conversation, that says more about you than the little typo you’re complaining about.
