France wants to tax Google/Facebook based on number of users and data
collected
http://j.mp/WmsSiF (ars technica)
"Last Friday, a 198-page government report to the French Ministry of
the Economy outlined a proposal that, if approved by the French
government, would impose a tax on tech companies based on how many
users a site like Facebook or Google has, and how much personal
information those companies hold."
- - -
Passage of such a law would be immediately followed by the creation of
the secret French government department to create millions of fake
Google users and share as much fake personal information about them as
possible!
