Is this going to create technological innovation?
>>110205766>tax based on digital data flows emitted by content providers and paid by themDon't tell me this means what I think it means. They can not be THIS fucking retarded lmao
>>110205766Literally Minitel 2.0
I know nothing about french laws so what is this?
Pretty sure that VLC isn't a content provider.
I though UK was retarded but France are speedrunning the way to getting geoblocked by every usable software on the planet, it's impressive
>>110205832French politicians don't think so.
>>110205824
>>110205766Whenever there are outcries about a law the first step is to look at the definitions and in which cases it is supposed to be applied.
>>110205788They said it will cost nothing to the consumer because Facebook and Instagram are free services https://x.com/GrablyR/status/2116203022837514720
France has disaster looming with their economy so they need to come up with tax sources that hurt but it doesnt matter since getting any money is crucial.The law is stupid on the double taxing, making services more expensive in france paid by end user ultimately, and digital surveillance infrastructure required to maintain it.
France is like the paradise for communists.
>>110205766>europe destroying itself speed run
> The entire text must survive the upcoming full-house budget votes, transition through the right-leaning Senate (which is expected to reject it)Nothing ever happens.
>>110205946>one more tax bro and our budget will be balanced bro trust me
>>110205832When you look at the wording of the passed proposal this isn't only about content providers and not even only about CDNs or big tech and VideoLAN 100% are included in this tax as it stands right now.On top of that this proposal sets a tax of 55€ per TB of traffic.Yes. Read that again, it's not a mistranslation. 55€ per TB of trafficFifty. Five. Euros. Per. Terabyte.
>>110206052If corporations own the government, does their spending count as government spending?
>>110205832>>110206067>>On top of that this proposal sets a tax of 55€ per TB of traffic.to be fair that's what a 1TB goes for now
>>110205788It will never pass the senat, the budget or the european union anywayIt's just socialists being retarded as usual
>>110206074In France no, here we pay like 30 euros for unlimited 10gpbs speedThere is litteraly no limit on your subscription
>>110205824It was passed in the lower house because almost no MP but those defending the bill have shown up. Hopefully the Senate which has a right-wing majority will nuke it.
>>110206148sounds like thats about to change
The guy who proposed the law>The customer won't pay the tax since facebook, instagram and tikok are freeA fucking socialist boomer who never worked a single day in his life and who coudln't say the difference between a gpu and a cpu want to restrict internet for us allReally, it should be illegal to become a lawmaker past a certain age
>>110206052Fucking kek!
>>110206148Don't forget to tip the fisc
>>110206182There was 31 elected lawmakers on...577 present in the houseOnly 21 voted, 11 for and 10 againstI LOVE OUR DEMOCRATY
>>110205946they could just stop wasting money on Ukraine. Or stop the gibs to illegals. Both viable methods to save billions and improve society.
>>110206219>This will ruin the internet!>Our poor tech overlords are barely scraping by!!!
>>110206247Both are a direct consequence of their retarded long term goals. Gibs for immigrants so they can displace the Europeans. Hush money filtered through Ukraine so those in the know keep silent.
>>110206254>penalize giants and tiny companies the same>this is protecting the giantsYes it actually is. They would gladly pay this to kill all smaller companies so they can gobble up more marketshare and further homogenize everything.
>>110206272Sounds like there's a good reason for smaller sites to optimize the data they share. Almost like there's some vector to capitalize on the slow movement and atrophied code of big tech...
>>110206302It's almost like governments just find any way to squeeze everything they can out of people because they are all ran by parasitic leeches who have never produced any value in their entire lives.
>>110206254>Host my own website and share roms>I will now be forced to pay hundreds if not thousands in tax every yearNetflix and co doesn't care, they will just rise the price and the goylems will pay it>Make my small indie game, hosted on my own website>Somehow can just download it over and over to kill me
>>110206302>bro just like outsmart physics and compress beyond the Shannon limit or something
>>110206247Those aren't France's problem area. Their problem is their own wellfare state.State-paid retirement and legal age of retirement as low as 55 for some occupations like fucking bus drivers, all brokered back in earlier times via workers unions pressing the government.
>>110206331>NOOOO DON'T PUT ANY LAWS ON CORPOS IT'LL RUIN NORMAL PEOPLE'S LIVES>>110206335>What is compression and download limits?Even better: Make it a hidden service so you can literally not know about if it's going to france. >>110206353>Bro big tech totally is super efficient with everything that's why every site is filled with js that's heavier than what a mid range pc from 10 years ago could handle
>>110206335>find some bloated PDF on the french government's website>write a script to mass download it continuously>bankrupt the entirety of France
>>110206372>TAX ALL CORPOS OUT OF EXISTENCE>about 60% of corpos have less than 5 people>YES THOSE TOO, FUCK WHITE PEOPLE!!!
>>110206399>NOOOO IF I PAY ANY TAX MY COMPANY'S GONNA FAIL
>>110206372>download limitsWhyWe had a good thing, cheap and unlimited sonwhy impose a tax to fuck with our life ?
>>110206432youre the kind of leftist retard that wants to tax people more just to give it to nigscum and kikes
>>110206432Yes, taxs shouldn't be over 15%, it's enough to make road and pay the police to shoot the retarded criminals
>>1102060741tb of premium eu/nl cdn bandwidth is like €5 anonand thats at consumer fuckery rates
>>110205766europe is cooked (russia is europe too)decaying continent with a bunch of boomer pensioners that require an increasingly unsustainable tax burden + looming war on the horizonshit's fucked, son
>>110206435>The internet is good as is>>110206439No, I want taxes to subsidize smaller businesses. Also this will reduce slop. >>110206442Feel free to move to any country where the taxes are that low. Please don't complain about some nigger stabbing you since he knows that the country you came from is much richer.
>>110206486>No, I want taxes to do *thing that will literally never happen*There's no incentive for the government to redistribute the taxes properly as advertised. That's just not how power functions. It doesn't matter how nice it'd be if it theoretically happened, it won't, and so the policy is stupid.
>>110205788it means epstein media fina start paying the state for the ads they serve you
>>110206632>No they'll just take the taxes and do nothing with it, despite there being an obvious, popular and easy choice that'll ensure both everyone loving that politician and the nation's greatness
