Norway proposes DNS blocking of illegal gambling websites
Norway’s government has proposed requiring internet providers to use DNS technology to block access to unlawful online gambling sites, according to the report. The cabinet approved the amendment on 20 October, and the measure was expected to start on 24 January 2024. The ministry proposes that providers, rather than the Norwegian Lottery Authority, operate the explanatory landing pages.
The proposal could require providers to block access to sites deemed unlawful under Norwegian gambling rules.
