Net Censorship Plan Abandoned in Poland

Good news for online gamblers in Poland. Recently there was a media announcement that the Polish government was planning to use web censorship to deny it's citizens their surfing rights on the internet. Many categories of websites, including the usual ones with offensive content as well as online gambling sites that are not licensed to operate in Poland where included in the plan. This is bad for a country that just a short while ago removed it's shackles and became free. The government wanted to keep it's people safe from the ways of the world. People on the net immediately formed a politically charged campaign with the use of social media outlets such as Facebook to give the Polish government a piece of their collective minds. The power of the internet has brought officials to listen to the voice of the citizens and after lengthy talks with select non governmental organizations the Prime Minister Donald Tusk has publicly stated that all plans to filter or censor the internet are to be abandoned. The possibility that online gambling sites were to be filtered brought the players together with a petition that was signed by thousands. Apparently a proposed draft of the web censoring system had been already sent to the Constitutional Tribunal which immediately threw it out calling it unconstitutional. Tusks actions are at best a smoothing over of the gambling publics' outrage. His quick action saved face but did it make players confident that some other form of freedom may be next. This is a clear example of the power of the internet with large numbers of people starting to feel that it's a right to have an open society with open access to information and entertainment. Online gambling may face other issues in Poland, but at least for now the player can go around the world on a computer playing whatever game they want at any time.
