For online gambling, why not just tax the stuff? India pulls in 30% of any player's winnings as tax, for example. The gaming companies also have to pay 28% of their revenue (yes, revenue, not income).

The laws are to enforce the ruling group's religious morals.
As an Indonesian resident and a long time DDG user this is immensely frustrating. It seems to me that internet censorship is becoming more and more pervasive globally and whilst there can be legitimate reasons (eg: CSAM) blocking a search engine like DDG is a massive over-reach. Unfortunately, most Indonesians won't notice as they happily let Google, Meta et al track everything and everyone and are unlikely to be usi…
At least duckduckgo is only blocked at the dns level!
I checked out a WiFi hotspot from a library recently and was surprised to find that they blocked DDG. (Was less surprised to see they blocked Reddit.) Isn’t it just using the Bing API?
It also proxies images, which I think is the actual reason (sic). So there is no way from a network point of view to disallow pornographic material on public access terminals. Though, I have not recently looked at how the other search engines do it. As a long time DDG user, the image filter isn't perfect and occasionally I'll see NSFW images even when I have safe search on.
Apparently for Google it's done by aliasing www.google.* to forcesafesearch.google.com [1], or for DDG: safe.duckduckgo.com [2]

This is one reason among many that I have vpn/vps/etc. At least duckduckgo is only blocked at the dns level!

My question would then be whether this easily avoidable type of blocking is a form of protest from those mandated to implement blocking.
1.5 percent of GDP in online gambling is crazy right? is it really that bad?
