For various reasons, depending on where you are accessing it from.

The internet itself is just a transport mechanism for data, it doesn't forbid anything. But various intermediate servers on the way to your browser may set up different blocks or filters.

Some of the common ones are

  • some countries block sites that disagree with the ruling political party
  • some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) are being sued by record companies to block sites like PirateBay that offer pirated downloads
  • some ISPs block download sites on their own, mostly because they think it eats up too much of their bandwidth
  • some content sites set up blocks because they only have the rights to their content for a particular geographic area (like Hulu is USA only)
  • companies may block social sites like Facebook because they want you to work rather than socialize or entertain yourself while at work
  • hotels may block sites they think have the potential to land them in legal trouble
  • schools may block whatever they think is not appropriate for their younger students
  • parents may block their children's browsing for the same reason as schools
