description of the show from The Kojo Nnamdi Show website:
The Internet poker party is over– at least if you’re living and wagering in the United States. Federal prosecutors are targeting the Web’s busiest gambling venues and Congress is preventing credit card companies from processing payments to them. But some legislators are beginning to push back against the anti-gambling statutes, arguing that current laws infringe on our personal liberties. And at least one international organization says they’re a violation of free trade. Tech Tuesday explores future of online gambling. (Running Time: 52:26)
