alt Hacker NewsI opened the blocklist expecting some juicy Linux ISO sites and... it's all betting sites. I'm not even mad.

I don't personally care about betting sites but it's the legal precedent and principle that the government can add anything to such a list and make obligatory.
"First they came for the shady weird-ass online gambling sites...."
I'm a little mad because it's the principle of the thing.
In practice the only site I occasionally want to check that's blocked is Polymarket. I don't trade on there myself, but I find it useful to check the odds of certain events.
