Not sure what this exactly means, but now we’re talking censorship by Bush and DOJ:

If this is true, looks like there were agreed-upon “carve-outs” for alcohol, tobacco, pornography, and many other quality-of-life destructive vises.
Totally amazing *hit going on in this country. A fascist dictatorship rapidly in the making……

Serious freedom-of-speech issues, if it is meant to purge all of their indices of gambling-related search engine information.
I put nothing past this government. This *sshole can send 100,000 troops to Iraq, if he feels like it……it really is an amazing demarcation point in our history timeline, that will be looked back on as the beginning of infringement on our civil liberties.

January 25, 2007 at 5:35 pm #724365AnonymousInactiveI don’t know. It just doesn’t make any sense.
January 25, 2007 at 6:01 pm #724374gamesdexMemberGambling adds have been banned, but there are plenty of people either manipulating the system to get their ads up or Google are turning a blind eye to selected parties.

that is my guess, but who knows for sure.
