Online casinos in China
Guess what the US did? They boast of providing freedom of thought and expression to its citizens, but how come they have formulated a perplexing law named UIGEA for prosecuting as well as blocking online casinos. It seems that the US is determined to thwart online gambling sites from operating, following the footsteps of China religiously for once.
China has already brought its citizens’ Internet activities under the scanner, deploying some of the best technicians in the country to spy on people. Besides, it has passed laws to censor online content. The country also scrutinizes the usage of the Web to find out sites that are deemed inappropriate, such as those encouraging free expression, dissension with politics or online casinos.
China has also ordered all Internet cafes to install mechanisms letting the government easily spy on the users, for the pretext of safeguarding copyrights. The government also asked businesses to utilize licensed copies of China’s indigenous software named Red Flag Linux, or Microsoft Windows. However, more emphasis is given to using local software. Government officials claim that the Red Flag software is the perfect anti-virus system, assuring that cafes abiding by the laws shouldn’t lose their sleep over surveillance.
Monitors have been installed for scrutinizing politically incorrect sites, gambling and pornography sites. This stringent measure taken by China has led to the imprisonment of many offending citizens. So, whether it’s assessing a politically sensitive site for project work or pornography for a moment of pleasure, the citizens of China have to be very careful of what they are downloading. They can be jailed!
China has a deep-rooted culture and maybe the government officials are too loyal to see it erode. But, the question here is not about eroding culture but dictating the people what to do and what not to do.
Now, the same thing is happening in the US. China has set an example and the US is determined to follow it. Right now, the ban has been laid on online gambling sites. Soon, it’d be on pornography, and then on political expression that the government doesn’t like. Gradually, this might even be followed by anything that the government doesn’t like. Who knows?

China country has taken a very strict action against the people who used to do online gambling and as well as the online casinos are spied in order to maintain its high routed culture and dignity. US first of all seems to oppose this but later they also follow the action taken by government of China.
From this I am sure that every country will also follow this in the future.
