When the US passed the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, the global attitude was that the US was leading the charge in anti poker legislation, but recent developments in French legislation show that many countries have a similar mindset. The French proposal, launched after the riots in that country in 2005, includes a couple of items referencing online poker. The first, similar to the UIGEA, would require banks to block transactions to online gambling sites. The second would require any online portal with a French facing to post warnings about site content that the French government finds objectionable or face severe fines and imprisonment.
