A government task force aimed at blocking NGOs involved in social, political and charitable activities, and groups dedicated to combating discrimination against women, persons with disabilities, and minorities from fomenting political change. To register, an NGO must find a government agency to serve as its organizational sponsor, have a registered office, and hold a minimum amount of funds. Some organizations with social or educational purposes that previously had been registered as private or for-profit businesses reportedly were requested to find a government sponsor and reregister as NGOs during the year. The number of NGOs continued to grow, despite tight restrictions and regulations. Although registered organizations all came under some degree of government control, some NGOs were still able to operate with some degree of independence. According to official statistics, by the end of 2007 there were 387,000 registered NGOs, a 9.3 percent increase from 2006. NGOs existed under a variety of formal and informal guises, including national mass organizations created and funded by the CCP. The lack of legal registration created numerous logistical challenges for NGOs, including difficulty opening bank accounts, hiring workers, and renting office space. To register, private NGOs often had to partner with government agencies, while other NGOs chose to register as commercial consulting companies, which allowed them to obtain legal recognition at the cost of forgoing tax-free status. Security authorities routinely warned domestic NGOs, regardless of their registration status, not to accept donations from the National Endowment for Democracy and international organizations deemed sensitive by the government. Authorities supported the growth of some NGOs that focused on social problems, such as poverty alleviation and disaster relief, but authorities remained concerned that these organizations might emerge as a source of political opposition among disgruntled citizens. Several NGOs working in Tibetan areas were forced to delay some activities following the outbreak of riots in Lhasa and other Tibetan communities in March.

The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 makes it illegal for companies to offer online gambling services to Australians. However, companies within Australia are permitted to provide services to other countries. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001 (IGA) prohibits all forms of online casino australia gambling, including online poker, from being offered to Australian citizens. Furthermore, it is illegal to advertise online gambling services to Australians. Australia regulated online gambling at a federal level. The IGA does not prohibit Aussies from accessing online gambling sites. Some forms of online gambling are permitted under the IGA. Also, while the IGA makes it illegal for outside countries to offer services to Aussies, to date, it has not actively prosecuted any violators. Online lottery services are not illegal under the act, provided they do not offer instant-win games. Social casino games and skill-based games that do not have an element of chance are not regulated under the IGA. While online gambling and the IGA are regulated at the federal level, state regulatory bodies do most of the legwork in carrying out enforcement. Online bingo games are legal and regulated by state and territory gambling agencies. Regulators are responsible for ensuring that online gambling sites in Australia are adequately protecting players. Two primary areas regulators focus on are responsible gambling practices and money laundering. Let’s quickly look at some of the ways regulators ensure compliance from casinos. Anti-Money Laundering Policies - Money laundering has been a major issue in live casinos in Australia in the past, leading to strict anti-money laundering requirements from all casinos. These stipulations include requiring casinos to conduct KYC verification for players, verify where a player receives funds for gambling, and even verify the types of accounts being used for transfers. Each Australian state and territory has its own regulatory division that is responsible for gambling policy. Responsible Gambling Practices - Australia combats problem gambling by requiring all casinos to adhere to responsible gambling practices. This includes giving players the ability to set limits on play and allowing players to exclude from casinos. Casinos must also have their responsible gambling policies clearly defined and available to players. Casinos also should provide links to help services for players, such as the National Gambling Hotline, Gamblers Anonymous, or SMART Recovery.

You know you have them in your arsenal, you work like hell to avoid having to use them, but when you have to deploy them they are your only solution. Gerry Casale, on being called cynical "Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils." --Louis Hector Berlioz "If they manage to corner the market they become a magnet for public outcry and possibly lawsuits which is about as good as accountability gets in the US." --Retchdog, on companies that conduct social media background checks "I sensed that it would more than meet my requirements, and I knew that there were all sorts of things I could do there that I hadn't even been able to imagine yet. But what was more important at that point, in terms of my practical needs, was to name it something cool, because it was never going to work unless it had a really good name. So the first thing I did was sit down with a yellow pad and a Sharpie and start scribbling - infospace, dataspace. I think I got cyberspace on the third try, and I thought, ''Oh, that's a really weird word. I liked the way it felt in the mouth'' - I thought it sounded like it meant something while still being essentially hollow." --William Gibson "I don't have faith in the Internet, I have faith in people connected through the Internet." --Jim Gilliam "Do not fuck with humanity. We nailed our god to a wooden cross and let him die. What do you think we will do to you?" --Unknown "Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain." --Attributed to Vladimir Putin (probably after Cory Doctorow) "Python is a language where casually replacing someone's spine with Twizzlers is considered slightly offbeat." --Binder "Pulsating. Never good." --The Doctor "It wasn't the Internet that accelerated history; it was the UNCONTROLLED Internet which accelerated history." --Mark Pesce If the gods can't take criticism, they shouldn't be worshipped.
