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?

Europa is a Jupiter moon. Did you mean Europe?
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.
I’m sure he meant Europa. Quentin Tarantino flicks are popular there.
That just depends on the language you speak. In Dutch Europe is actually called Europa.
In most European languages, in fact.
It is only called "Europe" in some parts of the world. I am German, and we call it Europa over here. The other poster might be from a country where it is indeed called Europa instead of Europe.
It's only Europa if you are talking in German. Same applies to other languages (including mine). But in English context it's Europe.
This evolved into a lot more than i should of have. All I meant with my original comement was to lighty nudge the user to correct the spelling without making a big deal out of it by making it educational at the the same time.
