Freedom of Speech or Separation?
May 23rd, 2010Author: Ildebrando Pugliesi
There have been some concerns lately about the fact that Ladbrokes, the UK online casino gambling company, has decided to get involved in the UK political scene by schowcasing the company’s opinion on how UK citizens should vote in the upcoming elections.
The question is if the internet gambling companies should be separated from politics. Staying out of politics, certainly, doesn’t give freedom of speech, however, there are some people who believe that the online casino sites should remain clear of politics.
It needs to be noted that Ladbrokes has merely expressed an opinion, and the company’s adds are tactful. To say more, there is no way to keep online casinos from expressing their opinion, as long as the adds stay within the guidelines.

Agreed, they have no business being in politics…
