Land of the free?
It is quite amazing that the USA claims to be the land of the free yet have so many restrictive laws they could be construed as totalitarian!
Recently, Washington State has made it illegal to gamble online. It is even illegal to run a website which mentions online gambling! It is so serious that offenders are likely to be treated the same as if they commited a violent assault or robbery. One guy who lives in Bellingham set up a guide to online casinos and although you can’t play on his website, because it mentions online gambling the Great State of Washington, in all their wisdom, decided to take criminal action against the poor guy!
Amazing!
The Internet may be a lawless land and could do with some tightening of laws and enforcement of others but this type of law does nothing to help anyone. I really fail to see the logic behind it.
So much for free speech, and all those other freedoms American’s ‘have’…
