The state of Minnesota’s Department of Public Safety has announced that the state’s eleven fundamental Internet service providers have been sent written notice that it will be necessary for them to censor two hundred online casinos. The state of Minnesota’s Department of Public Safety has announced feels that it is permitted to block these Internet sites due to the fifty-year old federal law that makes it illegal for phone companies to do business with gambling services.
Also in Pennsylvania a law was attempted to block pornographic sites but failed as many legitimate sites would also be banned. Internet filtering has been rejected all over the world as it is ineffective.
The Poker Players Alliance’s state Director for Minnesota announced that this is a clear misrepresentation of Federal law by the government used to try and censor the Internet.
