The prohibition of gambling advertisements is vital in protecting vulnerable populations, including children and those susceptible to gambling addiction, from harmful exposure. Current regulations are insufficient, and a comprehensive ban is necessary to prevent the normalization of gambling, particularly in sports contexts where young people are impressionable. Surveys indicate significant public support for banning gambling ads, reflecting widespread concern over their societal impact. Public health improvements have been observed in the past with bans on tobacco and alcohol advertising; thus, a similar approach to gambling ads is likely to yield positive social outcomes [Judgment].

2. Value-Neutral / Epistemic Objection

While the intention to protect vulnerable individuals is commendable, the bill could be seen as an overreach that infringes on freedom of expression and the rights of businesses to advertise legal services. The prohibition could have unintended economic impacts, particularly on media companies that rely on advertising revenue. Furthermore, a blanket ban may not be the most effective means of addressing gambling-related harms, as it could drive such advertising to less regulated online platforms, potentially increasing the risk of exposure [Judgment].
