Online Casino Control Reconsidered

The Chinese government has made headlines lately because of the government’s announced plan to force all computers sold in the country to contain a specific content filtering software. Last week’s announcement caused a furor of disapproval throughout the world because it is such an over-the-top step aimed at allegedly only preventing illegal online casino gambling and pornography. The Chinese government has been consistently opposed to internet gambling for some time now and the announced content filtering plan is one way that the government could ensure that personal computers don’t even have access to the controversial internet gambling sites. The global community though showed outcry at that level of control and the potential long-term consequences such a rule could cause down the line even outside of the online casino gambling industry.

The basic thrust of the situation was that the Chinese government was looking for force all new computers sold in the country to have the “Green Dam” filtering software installed and in place so that the government could begin to block online casinos from all new devices. This move though would severely restrict internet freedom although the Chinese government claimed it would only use the software for the purposes of blocking online casino gambling and to block pornography. International organizations feared that this was the beginning of strong internet censorship in the country.

But even the Chinese government seems to have had some reservations about implementing this new law and has delayed the full launch of the online casino filtering software just mere hours before the laws announced implementation deadline.
