Default Re: Google Says Blocking Countries Outside of the US is Against

John Mu at Google said:

"Blocking all users outside of the US from being able to see your site would likely be considered cloaking and would be against our Webmaster Guidelines. Instead of blocking these users automatically, I would recommend that you add blocks based on the user's activity, not based on his location. "

And I think that is pretty fair.
