Euros have entirely given up on competing on tech and are betting the future of their entire economy on fining American companies
Ask the bongs how well that's been working4chan still ain't paying
>>545232808revenge for insulting japan
>>545232808Frog faggotass
>>545232808....
>>545232808sheeit where is my internet money?
>>545232808it's not final. based though, American tech is harmful and should be taxed
>>545232808These fucking kikes never stop taxing people
>>545232808This is a tax on a service so i'd assume it'd be something paid by the consumer rather than the producer.
>>545232808this is the last high trust space for white people. what'll it be next? unmentholated air?
>>545232808Because streaming native to France and Europe has a very small market share, this is basically a tariffwill probably force GAFAM and Netflix & co to pay 1 billion a year, which is a huge amountYes, the cost will be redistributed over French peopleFrance is at the looting the coffin stage, but I support states making their nationalist policies They are proving that tariffs work + they are taking normies off the goyslop colored boxMy verdict is bittersweet faggotry
>>545232808Based. I approve. The Internet is a public utility now, like water pipes or power lines, so if you use it as a business to make money you should pay your share.Not to mention this will impact the brainwashing services the most (youtube, netflix, twitch, tiktok, etc) and will barely be a rounding error on actual useful content. Maybe, if we're lucky, it will even push vidya studios to optimize their shit again.
A half a cent?You're complaining about half a cent? Why are Eurofags so pathetic? I pay $240 for 1229GB of Internet in the US. If I go over, I pay $10/50GB
>>545233421Everything is ultimately paid for by the customer, duh? That's not the point.
>>545233004>>545233050He never said that
>>545232808Haha. Setting my VPN to France. I don't know who's gonna pay but it's not me.
>>545232808After weeks of rioting over worsening living conditions, the french gov finally came up with a way to make living even worse!I fully expect to see the French start lynching their politicians.
That cant be real.Like the recent slop games nowadays have like 150 GB DL easily right. (and with every update as well!)That would be 8.25€ alone!Theres gotta be exceptions or some shit. I refuse to believe that.
europeeans are such fucking cucks lmao
>>545236483>After weeks of rioting over worsening living conditions, the french gov finally came up with a way to make living even worse!how do you expect the government to pay for repairs if not new taxes?
>>545236376Kek
>>545236376
>>545232808What the fuck. That's like 55 euros per terabyte.
>>545236939Surely, they can find some embezzlement somewhere.. Regardless, I don't think rioters are looking for a working solution.Personally, I despise this double dipping on taxation, I'm sure I'm not alone on that.
>>545232808fuck I'm retarded, was supposed to post >>545237116 thishere
>>545232808Damn this sounds really what the Belgium government would do.
>>545232808>foid politicianUgh.
>niggers burn your country down>these new taxes should helpoh well, you keep the gun in your holster, you gonna get killed. ironic seeing as though the niggers in paris should know this better than anyone.
>>545232808>gta6 is 210gb>thats 11.55 cuckbucks just to download I expect more riots
>>545232808The cost is insane on it's own but the only way to actually track this would be to monitor literally everything that everyone downloads.
>>545232808Of course the migrants are exempt from this, france piggies its time to pay this new tax in place of all the migrants, you wouldnt want them to have limited or no internet access right? Get to work you lazy bastards
>>545233218This is the way. They need to tax the internet to raise the floor of who can use the internet. Retards and turbopeasants dont deserve or need the internet.
>>545236376If enough of us do this we could crash the French economy.
>>545236217>A half a cent?Looks like five and a half cents per gigabyte. If they're downloading a big video game of around 200 gigabytes (say, that GTA6 that's coming out in three weeks), it will be an extra ten bucks. That's pretty steep. This is a huge tax.
>>545236217>half a centl2read nigger
>>545236376lel
>>545237705>>545237770>>545237786can any of you retards actually look up what the tax is before commenting, the entry barrier to acquiring knowledge is as close to zero as possible>France's National Assembly on 30 October adopted, by 11 votes to 10, a Socialist amendment to the 2027 budget bill that would tax "producers of digital data" 0.055 euros (5.5 cents) for every gigabyte they send to French internet users>The tax would be capped at 15% of the provider's French revenue or 2% of its global revenue.I hate all of you. I truly do.
>>545237904Why would I read when I can make my own assumptions? Im here to shit post
>>545237904kek yurotranny seething.the tax is going to be passed down to you!
>>545237904You mad bro?
>>545237904>that would tax "producers of digital data"Yeah, that's just going to be paid by consumers, ya retard. Sony isn't ponying up an extra 10 or 11 bucks to send the Frenchman his GTA6. It will just cost that much more to the Frenchman.Hate yourself, faggot.
>>545237968Because of the acrimony of anonymous strangers on the internet that you will never see or meet.>>545237980I am not just mad I am butt crying butt tears of butt rage out of my butt.
>>545232808so you can rape all of france just by having bots send requests to all of their websites
>>545238061>a government socialist enough to impose a tax on sending data over the internet isn't socialist enough to outlaw passing the charge forward to customersBurger bro I won't hold this one against you because you colonials are all about the free marketplace of ideas and all that but get real.
>>545237904I don't see how that contradicts what's been said?At $80 GTA 6 can have a tax of $12 vs the $11.55 that it's 210gb would cost. And this is an extra up to 15% in expenses on top of whatever other taxes they have to pay to do business in France.
>>545233218All this will do is make the tech companies pull out of Europe so yes based.
>>545236376also upvoting and setting VPNs for France
>>545238112>>a government socialist enough to impose a tax on sending data over the internet isn't socialist enough to outlaw passing the charge forward to customersI'll grant you that your greedy socialism's cost is sometimes borne out by those of us who aren't participating. The companies will, no doubt, absorb some of the cost. I as a stakeholder will pay for your dumbass faggotry of selfishly taking from others. You have a point. I have now "gotten real". You faggot.
>>545232808what does this shit even mean???
>>545238198Well you won't be paying for 'my' anything and we are both ultimately Israel's tax pigs for kosher slaughter, fellow faggot.
>>545238123It dosent matter bro, euro poors have like an IQ of 70 all we can do is sell them shit so they can war again and right when they are all tucker'd out we step in and claim victory and dominate for another 80 years.
>>545238235You have to pay around 55 extra euros for every terabyte you use.
>>545238235websites have to pay taxes on their servers serving French costumers so the obvious solution is to just move all their shit out of france and just serve from the other side of the border meaning probably slower ping for every french trying to use the internet
>>545238255Well yeah, you're German and we're talking about France and you won't pay anything because Germany doesn't export much in the way of digital goods outside of extreme and nasty porn. Seriously, what is wrong with you guys on the scat and piss porn? Jesus. You're right. It's a Jew run world. The sad part is that Hitler was right, but here's the part that hurts, you fucks still deserved to lose. Some of you are cool. Most Germans are fucked in the head. Self hating faggots defending the Jewish run socialism that hurts "the companies". They play on your envy. You have the Jews you deserve. They are Satan's children. They have no power if you give them no power.
>>545232808This will never be paid, ever.
>>545232808This will either lead to a massive push in net data efficiency (FUCKING LOL) or Luigi is soon to be come a popular french name.Jesus fuck this world is STUPID LOL
>>545232808>frogjeets must pay to browse and post on hereF
>>545232808So seriously, how do any of these governments expect to compel American companies to pay them when they fine them for every frivolous little infraction they pass laws over?
>>545238235pay a fee if you're going to download stuff in france for each gb
>>545237904Totally, comically unenforceable. Ofcom tier. At best this is a way to get tech companies to treat you like North Korea.
>>545238297This is an absolute bullshit news.Who's going to charge me for that? My ISP?I'll fucking cancel the subscription as soon as that happens and ask for a refund.Nobody can add taxes out of nowhere on mundane activities.Now think about companies that run bots or anything that gets infos through the internet.This is an absolute slop news that can't be applied
>>545238235It means that if you want to stream movies, watch TV, or play video games that you had to download, you're going to pay a LOT more. But don't worry, the leftists in government insist that the companies will pay for it and the costs on you won't rise at all. How they can promise that is not explained and never will be. They will just order it and expect that foreign companies won't just tell them to fuck off before raising the prices of goods on all French citizens. Enjoy your more expensive Internet.
>>545236376truly honourary
>>5452362175 cents per gig you dumb nigger.
>>545238458>Nobody can add taxes out of nowhere on mundane activities.What are you talking about? They tax you for eating food. That tax is pretty common around the world. Taxing mundane activities is their bread and butter.
>>545238421>>545238441I'm assuming that if something this stupid passes major companies will just roll with it because 0.85X revenue is still more than zero and 4chan will just send them an AI image of a huge hamster. I could imagine tweeter enforcing a text only rule in france out of protest but the cuck in charge of it would fold like a lawnchair at the first sign of pushback anyways.
pay for it toast
Comcast already does this for the Americans>$10 for each 50 GB over the limit. Up to $100 per month
>>545238522Agreed. If there is really a price to be paid, it is not going to be directly on the consumer as we would revolt against that.It's going to be through increased subscription costs or some indirect bullshit.And honestly, as life costs increase because of the retarded USA or Ukrainian actions, we will probably swallow the pill
can you evade paying the tax using a vpn? just wondering
>>545238662its a tax on the servers, so even more fun you can use a VPN to rape french data centers to death
>>545238651Im almost 40 years old and have never paid or even had the choice for any metered internet service after I got broadband in like 2000. You are full of shit and a nigger kike for being a lying faggot.
>>545238591And you didn't see all the shitstorm that happened in 2014 when they increased the VAT on alcohol from 19,6% to 20%.
>>545232808They're not gonna price NEETs out of using the internet. It's too powerful of a tool.
>>545238617It's unenforceable for other reasons. Let's take Steam, for example. Steam sends a LOT of gigs to its users, but like many other companies it's a fair bet that not all of those downloads are from servers owned by Steam. What if it's contracting to a third-party datacenter? How do the frogs even know where to send the bill? And this isn't even cloud servers or real peer-to-peer!The only way they'll ever get numbers as to how much data came from where is by pulling them out of their ass.
>>545238651no they dont i use Comcast and tens of terabytes per month on servers and zero surcharge, lying fag
>>545237852Imagine being a server or data center serving tens of or even hundreds of thousands of gigs per day
>>545238764>https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/data-usage-plango MAGA somewhere else, retard bitch
This will kill Indian software development
>>545238970New Xfinity Internet plans include unlimited data and equipment at no extra cost.The 1.2 TB data limit only applies to older (legacy) internet plans>>545238764
>>545232808fuck tech you faggot. competing for what? the enslavement of YOUfuck youFrance is charging the corporations. French fries truly are FREEDOM FRIES
And now I really want to know what happens if someone does a massive, saturating DDoS against the French government.
>>545239126>untaxed data is actually controlling youman communist libtards really are retarded arent they
Kikes will suck Eurocucks entirely dry before they are going to be killed in the upcoming war against Russia.
>>545239069since you eating shit and be spoonfed like a fucking baby>https://www.pcmag.com/news/comcasts-new-plans-dump-the-data-caps>The company began enforcing a data cap in 2008, when it set that limit at 250GB. Four years later, it raised that to 300GB, then lifted it to 1TB in 2016 and inched it up again to 1.25TB in 2020 after suspending it entirely during the early months of the pandemic. >The opaque presentations of data caps by Comcast and other providers—a 2021 survey found that 48% of affected subscribers didn't even know they had a cap—contributed to the FCC requiring internet providers to break down those and other fine-print points in standardized broadband labels.
>>545238812tech illiterate boomers that don't know shit about anything will write whatever laws they like and place the burden of accountability and proof on the victims of their laws, you should already know this
>>545232808Small price for that much data. Less than a Euro for the whole encyclopedia Brittania.
>>545239208There's currently no data cap so i'm not sure how that does anything but prove them right?
>>545238659If it was another country that wasn’t in Europe or Canada I would hope that people could switch providers if they inadvertently jack prices to compensate. But since it's not, the French are fucked?
>>545238659>retarded USA or Ukrainian actionssee this is why i think it might actually go through, the french are pathologically incapable of taking responsibility for their own actions which lead to their current financial situation.
>>545232808This is actually quite reasonableSmokes and alcohol are taxed so should video games and video streams.We tax gas, this is a gas tax for the information superhighway
I use Starlink and run a VPN.They have absolutely no way to determine what I'm downloading or where the data is coming from.Who are they going to charge the fee?
>>545239527>Who are they going to charge the fee?does nobody read? the fucking servers as it was said a million times, every server in france is getting raped by taxes
So I download so hard muh’fuckas wanna fine meBut first Bercy gotta find meWhat’s 50 TB to a muh’fucka like me?Data cap? Please remind meI’m behind seven proxies, this shit crazyY’all don’t know, that shit don’t faze meMy seed ratio oh for eighty-two and I look at you like this shit gravyDownload so hard, this shit weirdISP ain’t ‘pose to see hereDownload so hard, since we hereIt’s only right the fisc don’t get a share150 gigs, that’s just the Call of Duty patchGTA 6 pre-load, Fortnite, Halo, run that backDownload so much porn I got a broke cock, still jackin’ to TikTokyt-dlp, it’s all mine, hidden behind all these ad blocksArcom sent a letter, then they sent a second, then a third one tooYou leeched what I’ve leechedYou’d be on a VPN in Lyon tooDownload so hard, let’s get faded, torrent seedin’ for like six days4K rips, no subs, bitrate thicker than my mixtapes(Download so hard) Bercy mad, wanna tax me by the gigabyteRoute it through Moldova, send the invoice there, good luck tonightThree-strike notice on the counter, I ain’t even read itData so heavy the tax don’t even see it
>>545239786But how would they know what server the encrypted data is coming from?
>>545232808I know they are stupid but are they Stupid?
>>545236217>metered internet>2026 you liver in a third world country
>>545239510>other unreasonable taxes exist>therefore we should tax this unreasonably as wellWhat would the founding daddies say to this line of reasoning? Did they throw the tea into the harbor because they wanted everything else to be taxed as well?
>>545232808LMAO
>>545232808kek so on average, someone up/downloading 100GB per month will pay 5 euros on top of their ISP bill?so, in ~10 years time, when it'll be normal to transfer ~2000GB, by very, very conservative estimates, everyone pays 100 euros just in fucking bandwidth tax?RIP this stupidity better not spread
So like...is it just mandatory for all Europoor countries to have politicians that make even the tech-illiterate retards in our congress blush out of embarrassment?
>>545239860they are retarded my guess, also there is 0 chance this becomes law apparently
>>545232808Being a Eurocuck is a permanent jewish humiliation ritual.
They are doing finally what I suggested as retaliation to US tech tarrifs: tarrif they tech sector lmao. This will initially provide cash flow and, once the companies try to charge the surtax on consumers, make European Tech more competitive
>>545232808France? After historically rough riots? Is this a joke?
>>545236243He did hug that sweaty nigger though
>>545236376We are so back
>>545236243It was implied, faggot.
>>545232808>french protest about the economy and suffocating taxes>"we heard you! here are new taxes on your internet lmao"
Total Traitor Death is real
>>545232808Wtf it will cost €11.55 to download GTA VI
>>545236376Kek. They're not in France tho, just using some DNS in the cloud bullshit
>>545238345stopped at 'scat and piss'. you fekkin kike.
GTA6 is supposed to be 200gb or something. Do they really expect you to pay like 10€ just to download a fucking game?
>>545238458>Nobody can add taxes out of nowhere on mundane activities.Oh to be young and naive. But seriously, they will always find a way to fuck you over.
>>545232808Insane how far people will let their governments push (rape) them.
>>545236376VPN would get their servers out of France.
>>545232808>betting the future of their entire economy on fining American companiesBased and whitepilled. Pay up, mutt.
For real this is completely stupid and will cause a lot of troubles. I'm a programmer at a mid size company and we won't be able to take the cost of our own infrastructure. I'm pretty sure this will result in people being fired or the company to shut down.
>>545245657Bro countries are retarded, you won't even be the only one, it's obvious there is not enough money to maintain all those old greed boomers and their lazy niggers.It's going to be even worse in the future, literally like only 30% of people are carrying the rest and we are aging out
>>545234080all this money is going to jewish "art" projects and boomer pensions, you know that?t. french
>>545238659>as we would revolt against thatYou're already revolting, kinda hard to threaten the government with what you're already doing. So why not start passing bullshit legislation? Enjoy paying extra for every reply (you) get on 4chan.
