Turkey to stop online gambling
Leading Turkish newspapers
have been reporting that a law which has been meant to protect
children online and stop indecent broadcastings, have been
extended to reach online gambling, as well. The method which
will be used is to block requests for websites on ISP level,
which the government of the country deems inappropriate and
harmful to its citizens.
Turkey has been trying really
hard to become a member of the European Union, and with more
countries in Europe legalizing online gambling, this will not
help them at all, especially while the European Trade Commission
is really pushing hard for E.U. wide legalizing of online
gambling sites. This also could be seen as a move by the
religious part of the country to enforce "spiritual laws" into
the everyday life of the citizens, as the Koran prohibits
gambling in all forms.
