    Big 3 Search Engines Settle Gambling Claims

    Apparently the US Government can actually enforce regulations. Against polluters? Against warrantless wiretapping? Against corporations who don't pay their taxes? No, you silly fool! Against online gambling:

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp, Google Inc and Yahoo Inc agreed to a settlement worth $31.5 million to resolve accusations that the companies promoted illegal Internet gambling, the Justice Department said on Wednesday.

    The companies were accused of receiving money from online gambling businesses to advertise illegal betting from 1997 through 2007.

    Thank you, Washington, for going after the real problems in today's society.
