France votes a tax of 5.5 cents on every GIGABYTE BIG TECH send - Content providers such as Google, Meta, Amazon, Netflix and Akamai (content delivery network) pay 0.055 euro per GB they send to French users - ISPs count the data for each company and report to the tax office every quarter, without looking at the content or who receives it - Ceiling: 15% of the company's revenue in France or 2% From its worldwide revenues (LMAO) - the socialists expect 10 billion euros a year. France receives about 200 billion gigabytes per year (ARCEP, the telecom regulator) -> Invest in VPN providers if this is fully adopted because avoiding French servers will make the use free. It is still not final, it still needs approval after adoption by the assembly and can be thrown away.
