Possible action alert: Update misinformation on Wikipedia
I had problems finding a "neutral" source (i.e. not from Majorwajor, etc.) for the Harvard Medical School study on problem gambling to reference, I will work more tomorrow, I gotta get some sleep. Anyhow, there is some pretty one-sided information on Wikipedia about gambling, for example in the online gambling section:
[ QUOTE ] Problem gambling Main article: Problem gambling In the United States in 1999 the National Gambling Impact Study stated "the high-speed instant gratification of Internet games and the high level of privacy they offer may exacerbate problem and pathological gambling". Recently in the UK another government-funded report came to a similar conclusion, claiming that 75% of people who gamble online are "problem" or "pathological" gamblers, compared to just 20% of people who visit legitimate land-based casinos.[19] Money laundering It has also been alleged that the largely unsupervised electronic funds transfers inherent in online gambling are being exploited by criminal interests to launder large amounts of illegal cash.[19] [/ QUOTE ] We probably need to update WTO, GATS, and certain politician information on there with "fair and balanced information". |
