House approves online gambling ban
Straight from Ars Technica: “Legislating “immoral” activity on the Internet has been a popular pastime for as almost as long we’ve been online. The latest salvo in the ‘Net legislation war comes in the form of a bill that would make life difficult for online gamblers in the US. The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act fo 2006, which was introduced last year, passed today by a 317-93 margin. It attempts to address online gambling by prohibiting wire transfers, “payment system instruments,” and credit cards from being used as payment methods for online gambling sites.”
