Came here for this. Also, wtf? The video is from the INA, the French Institut National de l'Audiovisuel. It's a government-funded institution dedicated to film preservation. Their mission is to make archival footage available to the public. But no, they had to geolock it.
Well, their mission is to make it accessible to the French public.
It's also blocked here in France though…
I don't think it's about geoblocking, because I can't view it from France either…
