The Chilean Subsecretariat of Telecommunications (Subtel) has ordered major internet service providers (ISPs), including Entel, Movistar, Claro, GTD, WOM, and VTR, to block access to 42 online gambling websites within 48 hours. This action follows recent rulings by the Supreme Court and the Santiago Appellate Court, which upheld the legality of blocking such sites to enforce existing regulations. The move comes after the Lotería de Concepción filed a protection claim against the ISPs, alleging these platforms operate outside legal frameworks. The blocked sites include mirrors, alternate links that redirect users to the original site, which were previously not covered under earlier restrictions. Subtel emphasized that the DNS-based blocking method was deemed appropriate by the court due to its efficiency, proportionality, and ability to protect user privacy while minimizing unintended disruptions to legitimate services. ISPs are required to report compliance directly to the court and notify Subtel of the exact time they executed the blocks.

There is no overtly biased language, and the focus remains on procedural and legal aspects rather than partisan立场
