Fun fact: Your ISP will just blatantly ban things if it benefits them. SKY is a British company that is a TV provider with a popular service called SKY TV. But they also are an ISP, so they ban many free movie sites that offer their TV shows for free. Is this legal lmao?

wait what sites in particular? got virgin media (UK too) and they don't do that to my knowledge, at least I don't think so
things like fmovies.to and 123movie.to works for pretty much everyone afaik
both the sites you linked both don’t exist lol, the first one doesn’t connect and just get the server not found error in Firefox and the other site goes to a for sale page for a domain parking company. Tried using a VPN to make sure it wasn’t my ISP either and got the same result.
also 123movies is famously a piracy website (or collection of sites since new ones spring up all the time, and many ISPs will block them since it’s illegal)
last thing, i googled both websites and 123Movies and FMovies are both so famous that they have Wikipedia articles about how they commit piracy and copyright infringement, which means legally ISP’s can block them on that basis, plus the FBI was involved in trying to take down sites similar to 123Movies according to Wikipedia. Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/123Movies and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FMovies
What do you mean about “don’t exist”. Because when I go to both of them, it says “This has been blocked by sky shield.” Idk about the domain parking thing, It doesn’t re-direct me there.
Strange, one of the sites just doesn’t even connect for me even with my VPN and the other site seems to be up for sale.
solution: change your DNS
That’s not legal in the US
Why the frick are ISPs doing that
It’s nothing new lol. ATNT blocked 4chan iirc and then 4chan got mad at them and hacked them
and here we have Xfinity/Comcast blocking files.catbox.moe and other legitimate businesses. I made a post about it: https://kitsunes.club/notes/9wst91p9ty
I’ve never seen them with anything but false positives!
