Debit card question

In the US.  
Do to the lawsuit filled by wal-mart and others.

Check Cards with a Master card or Visa symbol must be identified as a
debit card.   The money comes from your checking or savings account.

In the U.S. Merchants have the following choices
Pin purchases only
Signature debit purchases only
Signature credit card purchases only
or all of the above.



My question
Are they doing this worldwide or just in the US?
