昨晚在看寫給 Eugen 的 open letter [1]，裏面講到 mastodon 官方自稱不接受「線上賭場」捐贈 [2] ，同時 sponsorship 列表一堆 online casino 的名字 [3]。其中一個大大的「auscasinos」我真的有笑到（尤其是配合我站的介紹 ）。查了一下澳洲（和澳門一樣）也是明令禁止 online gambling 和相關廣告的 [4]

> It's illegal to provide some interactive gambling activities, such as 'online casinos', to someone in Australia. Examples include roulette, poker, craps, online 'pokies' and blackjack.
> It's generally illegal to advertise interactive online gambling to Australian audiences.

對我來說這些贊助 mastodon 的線上賭場不符合 Eugen 舉例的不能接受的「sponsorships that are not appropriate for all audiences」倒是其次，更重要的是它們（就我查證的來說都）是沒有博彩牌照（違法）的有詐騙嫌疑的網站。
