Topic: Ads for online gambling should be banned. - page 2. (Read 1302 times)

That's what must happen that these platforms should step up what they're up to. They seem to be not worrying at all because they're going to profit from it. I don't really think that there will be some responsibility from the ISP to do what the platforms should do that are placing their ads on their websites.

Well, it is in general about the popping up of advertisements. But yes that if there's a little responsibility that the gambling sites has, they are the ones that should conrtol it and whether you are up for it or not, there is nothing you can do as they're the ones who manages to place it and much more if they're partnered with ads company or even with google.

Gambling advertising, this situation is being blatantly advertised on social networks, causing discomfort to users. Whenever I open YouTube for my children to watch cartoons, gambling ads appear, making me very uncomfortable. My child is young, but almost every day, he goes online and sees these ads. I'm afraid it will affect children's cognition.
Rampant advertising on social networks causes many consequences as the number of young children participating increases. I don't know how to turn off these ads. The government needs to intervene and resolve this situation as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will expand more and more.

The ignorance of assuming technology is on our side when it comes to gambling and its influences is laughable. You're talking about age-restrictions on certain platforms, but let's be real here. Any techie kid these days knows five different ways around any parental lock. It's the family's duty now to teach discipline and the dangers of gambling. You mention gambling ads "mushrooming" everywhere. Ironic, given mushrooms can either be a tasty treat or deadly. This isn't about country restrictions; it's about fostering an environment where your child knows better, regardless of the ads they see. 

Well, in my opinion those deepfakes are getting better with each year that comes and goes. For example, some days ago I saw a deepfake of Trump, i knew it was a deepfake because it was posted on Twitter by an account which shares deepfakes.

At this pace, we won't have to wait much time before scammers manage to fake pictures of us, in order to easily scam people.
It is one of the reasons I have tried to say family and friends about those new methods so they can be aware and set security questions with their relatives, so even some scumbag tried to fake their voice, they would need to know a specific piece of information anyways.

Even I have heard about fraudsters using AI to generate known voices of their relatives and using it to scam people.
But that doesn't involve any images or videos because it is relatively easier to identify if the image or video looks fake or not.

Your opinion is indeed good, but parents cannot always control or supervise their children's activities in using gadgets even if they are limited. And in my opinion, it is best to be alert if there are signs of gambling advertisements and advise not to click or open them and parents should also tell them the signs first.
Apart from that, always check the gadget carefully after not using it and still instruct it not to click or open gambling advertisements and remain under supervision if there are no important things such as work or other important matters.

I understand your angle on ISPs and their role - or lack thereof - in the ad ecosystem. They're like the highway builders, not responsible for the cars (or ads) that traverse them.

But hey, platforms have become lazy and greedy. They want those ad revenues, yet often turn a blind eye to the content. Search engines and other platforms should have a vetting process tighter than the security at a high-stakes poker event. It's not just about the revenue; it's about integrity and user experience. While I don't believe ISPs should police content, these platforms better step up their game or risk killing their user base. Profits today, gone tomorrow - a gamble they seem all too willing to make

Despite the current technological advancements that's allowed very young people to know some of the things that are not meant for their age, there are still very good measure that's been put in place for their parents and guardians to regulate their activities in the internet.
You can use Parental Control to regulate their activities and also limit the kind of contents they consume with their smart devices. A child that's less than 18 years isn't supposed to have access to any gambling site talk more of seeing ads on those websites.

first of all, we have to consider how old our child is and if he is under 12 years old, it is quite easy because in certain countries, as long as the smartphone used is never used to search for gambling, I am sure that gambling advertisements will never appear in any media and another way, there are several social media that currently have features for minors, so as parents you can activate this feature so that advertisements sensitive to minors will be automatically blocked from these media.

but for children over 15 years old it will be a little more difficult because in this era of advanced technology, many young people know any way to access whatever they want, so the most appropriate effort is to always check and limit their children use of smartphone, even though it seems restrictive, but this is for the good because gambling advertisements are now mushrooming everywhere, even in countries where gambling is prohibited, advertisements will still appear on any social media.

Well that's right, some online casinos have now begun to use unusual ways, they have dared to appear in the public eye in several social media platforms, even though for example the government that does not legalize gambling has removed all their promotional content but still when the government removes one it will grow ten, they don't seem to want to lose to whatever comes to try to disrupt or regulate them. And indeed this is a big problem for us as a society and especially for parents who must be able to keep a close eye on what their children are doing, as you said, now there are a lot of online promotions and a lot of them are circulating on our devices such as smartphones, so this is very risky, especially for children who are still underage, it is very possible that they end up seeing and feeling curious, apart from that as we know that children who are still underage have a high level of curiosity about whatever comes to them. It's true that we as parents must really be able to filter all of that, not only for parents who have minors but for all people. In my opinion, the only way is that we must limit everything our children do, do not give access to anything that has the opportunity to know gambling, such as limiting the use of smartphones.


Yes, maybe blocking might be one of the effective things we can do to prevent our children from having the opportunity to know about gambling, but I don't think it will be completely successful because over time some promotions will definitely reappear, as we know the development of the social media world is very fast and maybe some casinos have various ways that are smarter than us. But yeah I wouldn't say it's wrong because it's one of the pretty good alternatives and we should still do it as a precaution. And besides social media, it would be nice if we also as parents must continue to pay attention to our children's socialization in the environment, because it can also be very influential. Keep them away from environments that are not good and can be detrimental, limit their time to play.
Regardless of anything, I agree with your advice, and it is true that this is an obligation that all parents must do in the midst of gambling which is now increasingly widespread, there is nothing wrong with us trying because this is also for the good of all of us, especially children whose future is still far away.

Indeed, it is very difficult because advertisements use many methods to appear in front of the public. And it is the duty of each of us to be able to filter it, especially if the ad appears on our children's devices in the future. We have to be more alert and be able to supervise our children well so that they don't try to gamble. And this is about how we can give them understanding so they can stay away from gambling forever. Perhaps we also need to tell them about the impacts they can get if they gamble.

As long as we are willing to look for and try ways that allow us to filter advertisements on the internet, we can block them. Perhaps we can set preferences on each of our devices, especially on our children's devices, so they don't abuse it and end up gambling.

And this is an obligation we have to do for our children so they can use their devices well. In this way, we can rest assured that our children can use their devices well, and we can also filter out advertisements that will appear later.

The gambling site will have the control over the advertisement.So if you are not accept with the advertisement,you can create the complain on that website.If they not response for it,then the gambler can contact the support of the website.The search engine also sometimes responsible for the advertisement,but it’s hard to make the search engine owner to remove advertisement from your side.Their may be many report from the users,but the website won’t remove it because for the revenue from it.The website will remove the advertising only to the people who report to them and keep others to get revenue.

It's not the task of internet providers to have them removed or moved. These advertisements are in the hands of the platforms where they're being advertised. Like in search engine websites, they're responsible for what ads they're showing to their users and partners.
And for the platforms where they're allowing it, it's time for them to have it filtered but you're right on this one that there's a must for many reports for them to start making a move but it's not really for ISPs because they're just there to have one job and that's to provide internet service and rest goes to the platforms where these ads are placed.

It is already a thing, actually.
There has been criminals who use Artificial intelligence to fake the voice of others, so they can get money out of the victim's family and friends.

Since now AI can also generate pictures and graphics, it will be just a matter of time before very well done deep fakes of celebrities are created by the staff of shady services, in order to mislead people into their service, thinking they are legit enough for a super star to endorse them.

That is one of the biggest fears when comes to advertisement, specially with services which barely filter their content, like Google, allowing barbage to pop out on peoples browsers.

While there are many attractive web ads, and casino ads are particularly appealing. Using tools and programs to block them on displays is feasible. Everyone has the freedom to adjust their Internet preferences. Understanding how marketers and platforms aid each other is also crucial.

Service companies must monitor their money, as you indicated. Users may improve surfing environments by voicing concerns and suggesting ad settings. With effective communication and understanding, you can balance customer satisfaction and business profit.

Obviously it's possible if every people supervise the minors to not gamble, when they see the minors accessing a casino, they can force to shutdown. However, do you think every people will want to spend their time and energy for someone else business? nope, most people will not do that because it's wasting their time and energy. Even we want to protect the minors, we have limited time, energy and money, so you can't save every minors.

It will need a mass incident report for the internet providers to make a move. Right now, it is really hard to filter gambling advertisements because even on different social media platforms, you will see a lot of people promoting it. That's why what people need to do is to supervise the underage regarding gambling. For those who are at the right age, can think about whether they will gamble or not.

We have to filter out gambling advertisements so that we are not tempted to gamble. Or we can install an application that blocks certain advertisements so they don't appear when browsing the internet. Banning gambling advertising will depend on the service provider we use because casinos already pay places to advertise, so if a user complains, the service provider may consider it. But that is a difficult thing, especially if the gambling advertisement is in a country that allows gambling because the advertisement could become tax money for the country.

Even I am hearing this for the first time. I haven't seen any ads which are fake and generated by AI.
I think it's illegal to use someone else's image for personal gains. They can create new avatars from generative AI though.
Besides that, these ads are shown on social media apps like Instagram which allows teens to use the app.
So indirectly, they are getting attracted to these gambling apps.

I think that you are correct because a gambling ads can not be ban in any country because even though it should be ban what is going to be the reason behind it ban, so I think that it's baseless and it doesn't have any reasonable thing that can make them to ban gambling ads in a country, gambling has being existing for centuries and which it's not a new thing in a country concerning gambling, so I have to make my research and follow my ways of understanding of gambling, government can not stop or ban gambling
