Minnesota canclels black list
 June 10, 2009, 6:34 am (2 years ago)According to the Internet freedom pressure group, the order to Internet service suppliers to implement a “black list” of poorly examined online gambling sites has been canceled by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS).
In a statement from John Willems, chief of the department’s alcohol and gambling enforcement section (AGED), the ISPs were informed they were no longer needed to prevent state residents’ from accessing to a list of 200 Internet gambling websites, and that DPS did not expect releasing any more orders, showing the matter of online gambling was better controlled through legislative attempts.
Willems said that the civil suit filed by iMEGA in the US District Court of Minnesota in his rescission letter. iMEGA’s suit, Willems stated, challenged that ”the notice sent to you and other Internet service suppliers was not lawfully applicable,” and that the notice “violated the First Amendment and the Commerce Clause.”
