Xanga is fined $1 million for allowing kids under 13 to sign up without parental consent. See, I think this is stupid.

Another sports betting CEO was arrested. It appears the charges for both times is violating the 1961 Federal Wire Act, which they are interpreting as declaring all forms of online gamblng illegal in the US. First of all, I call BS on them saying that was the intention, since there was no online gambling when that law went into affect. Secondly, fuck the US - they don't have the right to say what kind of businesses can be run in other countries (both of those CEO's were UK residents). Third, like Prohibition, this act needs repealled.
