Call to action on these one? Should I get Al Franken on the phone?

free speech anyone?

Just seems like a sad attempt from freedom haters. Unenforceable and silly really.

This is what you get with a gambling expansion in Minnesota. This has Canterbury and Running Aces written all over it. How pathetic really.

When will this be implemented?

Can I get around it by using my blackberry as a modem/buying an aircard?

Please tell me that this is fightable in the courts and that free speech advocates will go bat**** over this, this is frightening as hell even beyond poker.

im not sure yet, but if it is i will do whatever i can. hopefully some more educated people in these areas can chime in with some help.

You should contact these guys and let them know you are from Minnesota and this is happening

wtf. We need to figure what we can do to fight this ASAP. Unbelievable.

He notes that the required technology to restrict geographic access to particular sites is a relatively straightforward procedure on the part of service providers.

I thought they would end up geoblocking people on the borders accidentally if they tried to put this type of technology in, would people in other states that are blocked be able to sue Minnesota?

lol, couldnt they have at least missed an aircard network like verizon or like sprint or something? damn those thorough bastards.

(hoping someone reminds me of some other popluar network or isp im not thinking of)

My provider is not included on the list. Will this affect me? I know. Very selfish question, but obviously I would like to know.

Clearly the Star Tribune has no stake in free speech. Unless of course they criticize the lottery or some such business.

Hopefully they have the balls to give an opinion on free speech but I doubt they will.
