There hasn’t been any posts about this anywhere I have looked but I suspect not, this is much more focused on the money laundering, payments etc. Prosecuting people is expensive and doesn’t always work and so they are after big names and high profile prosecutions IMO
Agreeing with Alex, focus on money laundering and payments. The US has always had the problem of how to stop internet gambling, especially since the internet is borderless, the only option for the US was to tell its banks to stop the transactions.
If you’re not in the US and haven’t yet seen what the 5 domains have on them
The troubling issue here, is the US government going directly to ICANN and changing the DNS on the domains. Does this mean that any domain, regardless of country or extension – can also be controlled this way?
