Keep Children from Gambling in Israel

In just the past year alone online casino gambling has grown exponentially in many countries around the world. Europe has seen a huge expansion as the internet gambling companies expend more money and marketing time aimed at Europeans. Then, in other countries like the Asia market, the online casinos are growing faster than the country’s Internet Service Providers (ISP) and other internet related technology companies can accommodate. And the laest country to show signs of rapid internet gambling growth is Israel, a country now looking into creating censorship laws that would protect the nation’s underage and problem gamblers.

Amnon Cohen, an Israeli politician, is behind Proposition 892, a new law that would hold ISP’s responsible for coming up with a system to identify internet users and effectively block any underage and children users from blocking Web sites deemed inappropriate. Sites like online casinos, internet porn, and other “adult” sites would be blocked at the ISP level rather than relying on the parents and family to set internet usage guidelines for their families.

But others argue that the new proposition infringes on personal freedoms by allowing the government to censor content deemed inappropriate, what next banning online casino gambling like other countries have done?. Though the proposal has passed through the initial stages of becoming law, many believe that it will stop there—primarily because Israeli ISPs do not currently have the technology to implement the restrictions. Citizens believe that the answer to the problem does not lie in making more laws, instead perhaps campaigning for awareness and encouraging that families place computers in the common living spaces rather than private rooms as a way to monitor the content they access on the Web.
