Filtering is Not a Solution

When is it ever really a good idea to limit rights and personal freedoms? Censorship is a dirty word all over the world, and yet the governments for several major countries are practicing this questionable behaviour to some extent. The most recent and blatant case of internet censorship related to the online casinos comes down from the Australian government. The Aussie government has, thankfully, not followed through with announced plans to filter out questionable internet content from the country. The thought of internet censorship in a developed country is really mind-blowing and the international community, even outside of the online casinos, expressed outrage and outright criticism for the censorship plans.

What it comes down to is a question of necessity; is the online casino gambling industry questionable enough to warrant internet censorship? In a day and age where child pornography is still findable on the internet and prostitutes advertise their services on Craigslist, the Aussie (and US government for that matter) is seemingly more focused on the “hugely negative affects of online casinos” than focusing on real issues like the sexual exploitation of children.

The key answer to this situation, and the questionable attempts to censor and block internet content under the guise of protecting from the online casinos, is moderation. The internet gambling sites are not all bad and there are effective ways for the government to exert necessary control and authority over the gambling industry. The European and UK gambling markets are both healthy and robust and there have been no significant and uncorrelated rises in problem gambling and other issues like underage gambling.
