Minnesota calls on ISPs to block gambling sites
Not Minnesota girls
While the Congress is about to start dickering with an Internet gambling bill, one state is taking the decidedly opposite approach and calling for ISPs to implement a block on traffic to known gambling sites. Minnesota’s Department of Public Safety is using a federal law for ‘common carriers’ to call on ISPs to block services for gambling. At issue will be a reading of the law on ‘common carriers’ which previously applied basically to telephone services. Expect a court case quickly on this one.
