Protecting French Online Casino Players

The Internet is a medium that has both liberated many countries and individuals by providing information, knowledge, and an international community, but at the same time, the Internet contains a multitude of information that is also questionable – how to make a bomb, child pornography, and terrorist propaganda. The French government is now considering creating a blacklist of web sites – even some online casinos gambling sites – and blocking the sites from French servers. The move would target blacklisting specific Web sites right at the Internet Service Provider (ISP) level, and could mean increased freedom for betting and online casino sites.

A French Web magazine carried an editorial on the prospect of the government blacklist – and though some citizens and online casinos even are opposed to the blacklisting concept, for the most part there are definite benefits to creating and implementing a nation-wide blacklist of dangerous Web sites. France will not be the only nation to implement a restriction on the Web sites that accessible to citizens. Norway has in fact instituted a similar policy to prevent the spread of dangerous and criminal information through the Web. The Italian government was also considering enforcing a nation-wide blacklist as a way to control the online casinos gambling industry, but the country instead regulated and licensed the internet gambling industry.

The new blacklisting speculation causes the European Commission to continue its concern over the opening of the French online casinos gambling industry to other EU member-nations. And though the French government is only speculating at this point about the blacklist, the government asserts that implementing a blacklist will not necessarily mean that foreign online casinos and gambling sites are blocked from the citizens.
