Coljuegos says Expressen block dates to 2021 over illegal betting promotion

Enforcement & compliance

Coljuegos said it ordered the blocking of Swedish news site Expressen.se in 2021 as part of action against illegal betting promotion in Colombia, unrelated to the site’s recent reporting. The regulator said only Hughesnet, Movistar and Tigo currently maintain the restriction; it also noted conflicting claims about when the block took effect.

The uneven implementation affects how Colombia’s internet providers enforce gambling-related website blocks.
