As Mozilla points out, there are numerous safe browsing systems to which you can opt in โ€” opting in being the key here โ€” and there's nothing preventing any entity, the French government included, from creating their own software, browser extension, or DNS service for anti-fraud purposes. They don't need legislation for that, but they do need laws to force software providers to implement a non-optional, government-operated blacklist of "no-no" sites they deem unacceptable for any reason they see fit; it will absolutely not be limited to fraud alone.

France's proposal is so stupefyingly contrived, it's so obvious this is the true intention.

What's even more evil is that we already have dns filtering for isp. Somehow, by making this new law they are acknowledging the old one was stupidly ineffective.
