French left-wing groups in the National Assembly have officially included a "data tax" for France's 2027 budget. The French state will impose a tax of 5.5 euro cents per gigabyte that will be passed on to internet users if the 2027 budget law is passed. Downloading a 210GB video game, such as GTA VI, will cost an internet provider around €11 per user per download.
