The World Trade Organization, which is the organization that deals with world trade, has agreed to look into the U.S. Government’s jihad on online gambling, as Antigua and Barbuda (represented in this year’s Miss Universe contest by the girl seen here) continues to argue that U.S. laws restricting online wagering violate free-trade rules.
“The United States has been passing legislation that is directly and unequivocally contrary to the ruling of the DSB,” Antigua officials said in a statement to the WTO’s Dispute Settlement Body.
“The issue of compliance (with the ruling) was clear, limited and straightforward,” the U.S. said in a statement to the WTO. “We are now in a position to show that our prohibitions apply to both foreign and domestic suppliers (of gambling services).”

Even more shocking though is that eBay wants to go further than Kim Jong-bob‘s legislation and have online gamblers prosecuted. Yes, eBay apparently wants you arrested for playing online poker.
Why would an online site which owns PayPal support congressional regulation of online activity and go as far as wanting law enforcement officials to monitor everyone’s online activity, including tracking IP addresses?
