France Orders Internet Providers to Block Access to Polymarket Prediction Site France's main gambling sector regulator, the Autorité nationale des jeux (ANJ), has ordered internet providers to block access to the online prediction market Polymarket.
This move is a symptom of a larger issue: the uncontrolled growth of these sites. Polymarket allows users to bet on the outcome of future events.
However, this has led to disturbing consequences, including allegations that the site facilitates betting on sensitive information such as weather forecasts and US military operations.
