Blokeeritud

Blokeeritud is an Estonian adjective meaning blocked or restricted from access or use. It describes things that have been prevented from functioning or reaching a user, such as accounts, content, or connections. It is the past participle form of the verb blokeerida, to block.

Etymology and usage: The term is built from the Estonian verb blokeerida and is commonly used in IT, media, law, and everyday language to indicate that something is under a block or filter. As an adjective, it agrees with the noun it modifies (for example, konto on blokeeritud, sisu on blokeeritud).

Contexts: In information technology and communications, blocks are imposed by software, platforms, or network controls. Common examples include a user account being blokeeritud, a website or page being blokeeritud, or an IP address being blokeeritud. Reasons for blocking include security concerns, policy violations, copyright enforcement, legal requests, harassment prevention, or parental controls. Some blocks are temporary while others are permanent, depending on the governing policy or authority.

Limitations and usage notes: Blokeeritud is primarily used in digital, administrative, and policy contexts. While it can be applied metaphorically to describe physical obstructions, its most frequent sense relates to access restriction in electronic or organizational systems.
