Media Wants Gambling Ban

The Australian online casino gambling situation has been making international news for months now as the politicians and government officials contend that internet censorship is the only viable way for the government to protect Aussie citizens. There has been international backlash as internet interest groups contest the planned content filtering that would completely give the government control over a wide range of sites that are available to Aussie citizens right now with a free and unblocked internet system in place. In a surprising move that has actually fully shocked some in the international media the Sydney Morning Herald seems to be taking a stance against the online casinos and in support of censorship.

A nation’s media plays such a really integral role in shaping the opinion for the entire population because the media controls the flow of information and decides precisely what information the citizens are able to easily consume and access. In this most recent case the Herald’s piece about the pending internet content censorship displayed a definite and clear opinion that the internet gambling industry is potentially dangerous and protections are needed to keep compulsive, problem, and underage gambling under control. For the online casinos, this is not a positive development. The government is already in such a strong position of strength that the only hope of preventing the censorship legislation would be help from the Aussie media.

The big fear right now is that Australia is truly on the brink of passing legislation that would allow for an alarming amount of control and censorship. Already Aussie government officials have begun to include far more than just the online casinos in the censorship and it now includes varying types of porn. Both valid but still an alarming trend that will set dangerous levels of control that is being supported by Australia’s government.
