I supported the motion. Most of the youths and underage got introduced into gambling through social media. So if this new legislation should ban social media advertising and also prohibit gambling sites sponsoring sporting events, that will be good.

Why not just ban the young ones from accessing any social under they've turn adult. Banning all Sofia media advertisement is not a good thing to me. Many of you are saying you support and most times all the games you play on getting site are gotten or sent to you from your friends through social media. Banning of Sofia media ad also means that you won't be posting anything relating to betting on social media
