Santiago court rejects Lotería de Concepción bid to block gambling sites
Santiago’s Court of Appeals unanimously rejected Lotería de Concepción’s protection action against six internet providers over access to online gambling platforms. The court said the case should be taken to the competent administrative authority, Subtel, and that the requested blocking was too general because it did not identify specific websites. It also noted that the law permits online content blocking only at users’ express request.
The ruling directs disputes over blocking online gambling sites to the administrative process rather than this court action.
