@molly0xfff as someone not familiar with the betting market: what are the obvious reasons?
If it's "basic human decency" I could understand, but in this market I don't think they usually care much about that?
@ikesau @molly0xfff I understand that, but I also don't believe that betting platforms care all that much what their effect on the rest of the world is.
That's why I wondered.
@claudius @ikesau predictions markets are prohibited from offering assassination markets
(then again, they're prohibited from offering "gaming" markets too, so perhaps my "obviously" was a bit too old fashioned)
@molly0xfff @ikesau oh, good thing there is a law against it.
But at the same time: it's really fucked up what kind of stuff we apparently need to put into law.
