I don't believe that to be the case. I play at two online poker sites, neither of which are US based and both of them today have banned me from playing at real money tables.
I wasn't aware of free pornography. If the gambling ban is supposed to protect the children, how would it do that? Children aren't using their own credit cards to indulge in online gambling, so that excuse is fake.
Again, the far greater danger is child pornography, where adults are buying images of children. That's the real danger to children - where *some* men are turning their online fantasies into reality by hunting children down. Men who view child pornography also view children differently. There's a danger in that alone. That's why you're seeing the proliferation of adult-to-child crime. That's why the NBC show is catching child predators. Why the hell is the government so blind that they can't see this? Where are the child advocates on THIS? Guess they're too busy banning snack foods in school cafeterias.
