US Government Aims To Repeal First Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Why then do we aim to punish ad networks which allow online casinos to advertise? Do I use online casinos? nope. Do they hurt me? nope.

I have seen many billboards on the interstate advertising the poor tax which our lotto system is. Nothing wrong with tax payer money going to advertize the extraction of wealth from the poor though.

Big casinos are making millions of dollars. This is where the problem actually comes from. Casinos like Foxwood are not leveraging their market dominance to expand their brand reach. To protect their profits they are coupling with the religious right wing idiots in our government to try to punish Google and other companies for setting up a good ad network with strong distribution.

Read more about your erosion of civil liberties.

ps: FBI pushing for greater monitoring of internet.
