@jeffjarvis I disagree. But it doesn't matter, because all these taxes are going todo are make news companies dependent on the profits of tech companiesqnd their taxes. This gives tech companies more political power, not less.
They'll happily pay the tax. And in exchange, you have to do what they want now because they fund things.
This is why taxes aren't punishment. It's the same as being financially dependent on an abuser. You need to sever financial ties first to enforce punishment.
@jeffjarvis Sorry privacy invading data is not exactly about making an enlightened society happy.
Although many have opinioned, that the GDR's Stasi would have reached continuous new levels of happiness with the level of data collection and privacy invasion that the US surveillance capitalism practices.
But then the GDR was as a huge open-air prison.
Now don't let me get started about US news (IMHO, you basically don't have news, you have news entertainment).
