can an internet service provider block a gambling website?
i keep getting mixed answers....

[/ QUOTE ]

Will they be given a site to block? Likely.

Can they block the listed site? Likely, else why give them a site to block?

[/ QUOTE ]

The government won't block porn sites with pictures of underaged teens, how is it that they are so steadfast in blocking gambling sites? Is gambling that much farther down on the morality scale in comparison with illegal porn?

The new law makes a blocking list possible, but no list exists yet AFAIK.

[/ QUOTE ]

Where does the legislation say that? I've read it and there isn't anything about ISPs blocking gambling sites.

Congress didn't recently pass a "ban on internet gambling". Nothing today "made online gambling illegal". Two myths in the first two paragraphs. Makes the rest of the article suspect,IMHO.

Thank you. I'm tired of reading all these articles that are completely misleading and/or incorrect.

Sec. 5365 (a), (b) and (c).

"Attorney General"

"injunction"

"removal of, or disabling of access to...... site ...link"

It does not say list if that confused you; but I'm sure they could give more than one offender to block at a time.
