I think that would be nice but I think it would also raise a lot of eyebrows if Mozilla unilaterally decided to parental control your access to the Internet. It's governance that's the issue. Consider this https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/14/politics/sports-betting-ncaa-supreme-court/index.html
I get that ending the "prohibition" on gambling is good optics for the economy, it's like legalizing pot. All the shady aspects of the industry are nearly eliminated, and assures a standard of quality.
I guess I view gambling differently cuz... with pot or alcohol, you at least know what you're going to get. And when working through addiction, its a lot more tangible of a thing to deal with.
With gambling, you're pouring money into something you're not even guaranteed to get at all.
And for some reason, Alberta loves to push gambling advertising really heavily.
