Every Operating System That Was BANNED or BLOCKED Explained

Every Operating System That Was BANNED or BLOCKED Explained

Some operating systems weren’t just unpopular — they were banned, blocked, or quietly removed from critical environments. In this video, we break down every major operating system that was banned or restricted, and explain why it happened. From Windows 8 being blocked in Chinese government offices, to Windows restricted in Iran, Microsoft downloads blocked in Russia, and Windows XP and Windows 7 banned after end-of-life, these decisions were driven by security, surveillance concerns, sanctions, and compliance rules.

We also cover macOS being legally blocked on non-Apple hardware, the reality behind Hackintosh systems, and the disturbing design of North Korea’s Red Star OS. Finally, we explain how Linux distributions can be effectively banned through corporate policy and regulation. This isn’t about legality for home users — it’s about power, control, and trust in operating systems.
