Santiago appeals court rejects expanded blocking requirements for gambling sites
Santiago’s Court of Appeals closed a dispute between Lotería de Concepción and telecommunications companies over measures to block illegal online gambling sites, ruling that the requested intrusive technology exceeded current rules. The court said the original blocking order had been fulfilled; Chile’s telecommunications authority had stated that no rules require providers to use the additional technology.
The decision limits what telecommunications providers must do to block online gambling sites under the current rules.
