So what would be the punishment for not paying Cesar’s new tax?

They will shut down Google, YT and FB?

This is serious popcorn city for us — if the companies say “nyet” then their fascist credentials are up for grabs.

This will be fun to watch. Doesn’t affect any of us one whit.

Estonia makes a big deal about being cutting edge in internet issues. So for the western EU to propose taxing the internet in Estonia is hilarious.

Google, Apple, Facebook and Amazon. Socialists taxing socialists. Feed the utopians. The collectivist giants should be happy to pay more.

Well, all those companies love Northern European Socialism, so they’ll pay the tax gleefully.

What do you think they would do if the US decided to tax Siemens, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, etc. at the corporate level based upon revenues for sales in the US?

The internet will get more expensive for consumers.

Sounds like bad luck.
