You are exactly right Professor.
This is defnitely the scariest piece of legislation to date. Still I can’t see it actually getting through because of the free speech issue. It could potentially be inacted, but would probably face a Constitutional challenge that would have to be decided by the Supreme Court. The question is, who would come to argue the case for online gambling.
If it did go through, what will be banned next, oh yeah, probably internet porn for starters. I’ve heard enough stories about how underage people have too much accessibility to all that content. If this were to go through it opens the door for censorship of anything that could be deemed harmful to the general public.
