If France already has socialists in power, what exactly did those protesters want then?/

>>110206643>I'll take vampires with an unquenchable thirst for blood over my sons and daughters
If French politicians are anything like politicians here in Germany, they are still under the illusion that everyone is forced into compliance just by virtue of living there, and that they are somehow the center of the world and no other place existsBut forget that people can move, and also companies can move, and that's what they doSo in the end what you are left with is sediment
>>110206687You're not fit to be online, let alone in charge of anything. Look at what zoomies did to this place.

It doesn't seem like it does affect them. I don't know what this retard is yelling about.
well this is one way to get data centers to leave
>>110206245So how does that affect VLC? It’s just a video player.
>>110207245VLC is hosting the software on their website. Everytime someone downloads, they pay the download tax

The actual votes that passed this motion:5 PS (boomer socialists)2 LFI (zoomer commies)2 Greens2 PCF (boomer commies)
>>110207257So it’s a tax on internet traffic? That’s pretty retarded.
>>110205993Can't you just host it outside of France and not be taxed though? How are they even going to enforce this retardation?
>>110206763>>110206785every single right wing government in the world has flooded their country with low IQ immigrants because they work for lower wages than their own population AND are easy to blame for everything that said governments are actively doing because the already existing lower class in the country isn't educated enough to understand the correlation
wtf 55 per TB? what a joke
>>110206947>he used to have the most right-wing coded position within a left wing that he merely used as a stepping stone to power so he's a leftistlmfaoMacron is a banker who got his campaign sponsored by consultancy firms and bankers then formed a coalition with the historical right wing party of the country

>>110207504bankers are jewishjews are left winged (except in isreal, lol)
>>110207504You're talking to people who got their political education from 4chan and twitter. Left wing means browns and trannies, right wing means white and not trannies.
>>110207504>when a left wing gov is in power (aka 10% of the time tops)Is this some sort of elaborate redditor cosplay I'm falling for?
>>110207574It's notIn the US Democrats can't be leftist overall because they'd auto loseFifth Republic France is 80% right or center (which always steers right not left) + 10% left president with right government because the left lost the elections + 10% left
>>110207549>people who got their political education from 4chan and twitterfrom america and euroshits*
>>110206743Americunts and Britards don't know what socialism is, so they just flail about and scream about immigration (your standard right-wing tactic to keep wages low) and taxes (needed to keep the military-industrial complex paid).
>>110205993America innovates, China copies, Europe regulates, and France taxes.
>>110206755lmao, they already carved up Russia. It's just a matter when they can do round two, at firesale prices.
>>110205993Oh I can see it adn my unemployment.By the way, does anyone know how to migrate to china from eu? Migrating to Germany is almost as bad as mutts threatening to move to Canada after each election.
>>110205993Are the french lawmakers stupid?It seems like they want to 1) attack french people (who have to pay this, as the hoster/owner)2) attack french hosting companiesIf you calculate it, this is 220 Euro for 4 TB traffic.Question, wouldn't this law kind of suggest that you ban french IP's from your small site in France? (financial risk)AI suggests the following from a link:>Smaller French Platforms: The French budget ministry warned that thousands of smaller, >domestic web entities and local media companies >would collectively bear up to half of the total tax burden@VideoLan, please think about offering a official torrent for the program download, so that others could help.(I know that I could create a torrent at this moment! ...)Maybe you want to think about your server location, and the location where you non-profit is located.Cloud storage would be impacted, yeah cool show me the new pricing oncloud storage then ...Gaming infrastrucute is impacted, yeah cool show me the new pricingof gaming infrastructure ... Free VOD platforms of TV channels, yeah I'm sure they can continue with a free offering (no, probably not.)Software updates impacted, yeah I would call this criminal.Allegedly: It(*tax) is capped at a maximum of 15% of the provider’s French revenue. Still, insane bullshit to have such an idea.I see a giantic problem with this law. Anyone please answer to this hypothetical situation:an actor gets a french server and wastes like thousands ofGB of traffic of your french server. Do you have to pay the tax on this wasted traffic then? (Which I would think they would demand it.)
>>110208572>Gaming infrastrucute is impacted,So if a company has to run servers for a new game they would have to pay this. I'm sure they totally will not create"You have to pay 30/month for a multiplayer pass now"*irony*By the way won't most of the bigger companies just get back this cost factorfrom their customers?
>>110208572>an actor gets a french server and wastes like thousands of>GB of traffic of your french server. Do you have to pay the tax on>this wasted traffic then? (Which I would think they would demand it.)I had the same thought. You could literally tax-dos someone by just downloading shit from their site over and over and over again. The tax is on providers, not users. Providers would have to institute strict per-user limits and disallow anonymous downloads, which would itself be insanely destructive to the internet.Anyway, this law was voted on when only like 30 some odd members were present out of an entire body of hundreds. I've seen talk that its likely DoA in the French senate because it'll be wrapped up around the same time that big shitflinging fights around the budget happen. Its extremely unlikely to actually pass into law.
>>110206288on a european package (pic).
>>110206288>Who writes gb and tb as go/to?It makes sense to call a byte an octet though, since there are 8 bits in a byte
>>110206536upload traffic from a french server to a french home IP. (the funny thing here is, that in theory it would apply to upload from a french home connection to another french IP too. think about the implications for a moment ... super funny .. NOT ...)
>>110207364What you're failing to understand those actions are not right wing. It's not a right wing government if it's soley focused on browns and black slave labor.
In short, old people shit it everything up from everyone else. Again.
>are you a rich jewish asshole and your wallet is starting to get a bit dry?>just pass a law that forces working people to give their money to you for freeMan, there really is no other option than to just start indiscriminately killing these subhumans, is there?
I think we need to pass a law that forbid people from doing government jobs past 40
>>110207279This is bad because like stated in >>110208598 , it hits the average person.>won't most of the bigger companies just get back this cost factor>from their customers?
>>110207363yes but, if you want to serve a french user, you have at one point to use a french provider (at the end of the route.) This one gets hit with the tax, and there is a chance he gives this cost to companies he has business with. That has the chance that in a small amount it ends up at your hosting situation. (Maybe yes, maybe no ...)
I'm pretty sure for now they only voted to amend the law, it still got some way to go before it's actually get passed.Basically, you gotta pray the other boomers that have to validate it aren't nearly as retarded.But it's vile that only 21 people were present to vote for this, pretty sure there's like 350 people in the senate.
>>110205993This is utterly deranged. This tax alone applied to my household's typical monthly internet traffic would come out to ~10x more expensive than the internet service. Completely insane.>>110208598>By the way won't most of the bigger companies just get back this cost factor>from their customers?I think they will have to, because it's completely untenable otherwise. Imagine you buy & download a 100GB game. Every time you download the game, the platform provider has to pay 5.5EUR in taxes. It's not a one-time fee, it's every time. So if you delete the game and download it again, the platform gets tax-raped again. Every time an update comes out and is pushed to the game owners, tax-rape again. I don't think this would be practically possible for a video game platform to support out of pocket, it's surely an absolutely massive cost increase on their side. It probably makes pursuing business in France inapplicable entirely, unless of course they pass on the costs to the French consumer directly.>>110207363Depends on how the law works exactly. If it gets to a user within France then it obviously has to go through some French system somewhere. Maybe they tax-rape some other company which carries your traffic, but if they do that then the company will have no choice but to pass on the tax to you as well because the tax is truly insane, like orders of magnitude more expensive than actual internet traffic.

They have 2 kinds of welfare queen classes they have to please, boomers and migrants, who both don't care nor understand technology. They can't print money either because they gave up their control over currency too. They need to extract more wealth from the shrinking working class of actual europeans and this will go over easier than raising the income tax for example

Im tired of the western degeneracy. Russia although has its problems, at least tries to fix them. As of now Russia is>white>christian>conservativeNo jews in power, no feminist and gay agenda in schools. What else you need? Their wages outside of Moscow are relatively low compared to Europe's but that's actually good if you're from the western country and have your savings. You can buy a nice house and start a farm or some shit, taxes are low, lots of land, pretty cheap. There's a lot of room for business. My only concern is the gun market I heard buying a pistol or rifle is pain in the ass.I cant handle anymore of goyslop globohomo tranny homosexual degeneracy.

>>110205993Just block the communists who gives a shit
Does this only apply to what french/EU law designates as large social media/online media platforms (youtube, meta, tiktok etc) or everything? Does the person who owns a small website/forum with no ads (doesn't get any revenue from hosting it) have to pay as well, or would this tax translate to their host (based in France) raising their monthly/yearly hosting for the server?
We need a "regions.txt" kind of like robots.txt but for countries containing: >if any law in your country applies to us that needs special paperwork, taxes, or mar incur on fines please block us as we can't keep up with the arbitrary law changes of 195 different countries.Or "contact us", if you don't want to drop regions automatically.Cause this is getting ridiculous.

>>110210518It make sense for companies to pay taxes from the benefits obtained on a specific region, but putting taxes on arbitrary values like GB is retarded, is like collecting taxes based on word count for books newspapers and websites.Some services need more bandwidth than others and the amount of bandwidth used doesn't correlate with their benefits.
>>110205993Wow, its like France is in a competition with us in the UK for who can pass the most retarded laws.
>>110205993Thats universities and the sciences completely FUCKED then? Are these politicians even sentient?
>>110208572>>110208607No man, it's for commercial companies, it's not for all upload...So selling digital services will become more expensive in France.Good, maybe we go back to physical.
>>110210624If I've a service that uses a lot of bandwidth and my a margins are ~10%, the rest are costs, you are going to lose money.1,000,000 revenue - 900,000 cost = 100,000 profits, but France will tax you 150,000 so you now lost 50,000 every year instead of winning 100,000Taxes should be calculated over profit or some services will be closed on France.
>>110210718the proposed law (that won't pass) would cap the tax at a maximum percentage of revenue.
>>110210718That's a decent point, it should be profit.But even without that, fuck you and fuck your digital bullshit. 90% of all digital services are owned by non-eu foreigners anyway. Tax them to hell.
>>110210729revenue != profit, it's caped at 15% in france or 2% total, serving france with small profit margin won't be possible, unless most of your revenue comes from france and the 2% cap is used instead.
>>110208696So they literally want an internet traffic tax.
>>110210739Tax over profits obtained in your region, but "over profits" not over random stuff like bandwidth or the number of consonants in your company name.If you tax over profits, no company will want to leave cause they're still making some money (unless you tax is over 99%)
I'm french and keep in mind this happens just days after they forced Quad9 to leave. I've had a friend who warned me this would eventually be happening just a month or two ago. Only 11 members of the Parliament voted in favor, 10 against, 14 voted blank. That's out of 577 members of the assembly. That says a lot about how democracy really works. The Senate will probably block this law but it's only a matter of time until a similar law passes again.
>>110205993>They are probably the most clueless politician on Earth?Smells like ESL in here...
>>110210774>They are probably the most clueless politician on Earth?No, In Spain the company that own the football rights can block IPs directly, without a judge ruling over every case, so during matches they block cdn IPs, like cloudflare, and half the internet is broken for several hours every week, sometimes for as much as 10 hours a day.And they are now trying to ban VPNs too.
>>110210813Yeah that's why they banned quad9 in france too. Europe is just getting more and more restrictive.

>>110210822death to the fucking euthe traitor gallows for all fucking eunionists
>>110210862Breaking apart into small weak countries that can easily be bullied by US/China/Russia is much worse than a bit of bureaucracy.
If this gets approved they can even do tax based "ddos" attacks from France just visiting small online shops and viewing all images and media from their catalogs again and again with no cache.Not only you will use resources and bandwidth from their servers but they will get taxed for it. (even if they don't sell shit in France they can get taxed 2% of their total revenue)Unless you sell a lot to France you would be better using a region block than risking losing 2% of your total revenue.
>>110210845Fake newshttps://eufrontier.tech/>>110210862Go back to twitter and post about how the sitting polish government is supposedly coup d'etat'ing itself like the rest of the grifters do you absolute spastic
>>110210977Just think at the madness of taxing 2% of a company revenue (not in france but its total revenue)There're ~195 countries in the world if every country wants 2% of the total revenue of a company they will be taxed with a 390% of their total revenue.Fucking crazy.
>>110205993What a retarded footgun policy. All this will do is cause anything that uses the internet divest from and stop serving France. They have effectively exiled the greatest knowledge, entertainment, and productivity infrastructure that has ever existed. Might as well just burn down libraries and circuses while you are at it. They really are speedrunning themselves into a barbarian dark age.
>>110210942The problem with the eu is that it's run by communists. If it were run by normal, sane people no one would be against it.

>>110210066This is a Democracy.The majority voted for this.
french and german politicians are an extra special brand of retard
>>110211207Old people should never be in power.
>>110211215i've noticed a bunch of people frantically trying to start this "old people' narrative in the eu lately, as if the younger euro gens have anything to offer at all
>>110211277Boomers are known selfish narcissists bro, shit's global, be it china or japan or wherever.
>>110211166Democracy was a mistake, Plato was right
>>110211277It's almost as if we had several decades of old people shitting it up for everybody else by being completely disconnected from reality.
>>110211295>Boomers are known selfish narcissists broliterally everyone is voting in their own interests. democracy isn't doing too good in case you haven't noticed (look at poland). if anything the younger gens are worse in that regard. everyone of their demands is more money
>>110211277The birth rates makes it fucked.They paid "their share" when the dependency ratio was favorable and there were fuck all pensioners. Now they want what they are owed, they have increasing voting power as there are ever fewer workers per dependents. It's just a death spiral without a hail mary. (AI)
>>110211341i think the entire continent is fucked pretty much. china is taking their industry, and ai will take their services, and they have no resources. for decades they favoured social spending instead of rates of growth. in france, over half don't pay any income tax at all and are still seeming struggling (or at least complaining). if the country gets more unstable and browner i think the wealthier will just leave. their standing of living will inevitably decline
>>110206245>The guy who send the data must pay it (netflix and co)That's guaranteed to either raise prices through the roof and/or block the entire country from accessing them.
>>110210052>France has a particularly bad case of luxury boomer communism, where retirees make more than working people.Indeed. But like I said here they can't manipulate currency to do it >But the young are too fucking retarded to see they won't be getting shit when they retire, so they riot any time a politician tries to cut back on spending on parasite boomers.Nah. It's mostly the new welfare queen population chimping out just whenever they get an excuse. The leftists (a minority, but influential and chimpout enablers) are probably quite anti the luxury boomer class. Maybe they dont want to take away the pensions but they do want to take away everything else.
>>110210741I think that might be the real scope of this law, protecting shitty domestic/EU alternatives (2%) against foreign tech giants
>>110211166>>110211316We don't live in democracy but in a "unrepresentative representative government".
>>110211215France actually has one of the youngest political classes among developed countries, most are GenX or Millennials by now
>>110211430>Maybe they dont want to take away the pensions but they do want to take away everything else.No they don't, they fully support the boomers lifestyle and envision themselves having it and stealing the next generation under them's wealth.French people are incapable of empathy for others.
>too little regulation and you become jew hellscape like USA where asbestos is put in baby formula and everyone gets cancer to make pfizer richer>too much regulation and nobody can start business without having entirety of profits taxed, everything is through government, you pay tax on your tax, your free healthcare has a 10 year waiting period for a specialistPerhaps we need AI to figure this out
>>110211434A domestic France based company will be taxed at most 15% unless it has a lot more profit on other countries too, of its revenue not its profit.This doesn't even protect domestic alternatives, just make harder to operate any internet service cause you might end owning money to random governments for some random law they just pull out of their asses.
>>110211484Don't forget that due t o EU single market, frenchies can just buy your service from Germany even if you raise the price and *you'll* still have to pay the taxes!Basically, just block all services to France and leave them isolated.
>>110211207France is about to elect populist retards in 2027 so this will get worse. Le Pen or Melenchon, both are fucking retarded
>>110211519Good, hope they go full orange retard
>>110209624so now shes just pregnant and alone?
>>110209816This>>110209624>woman who's offered everything she wants ruins everything multiple times in a row>"fuck men"Damn these guys are lucky that she took her mask off so soon.
>>110211434>>110211484Yeah it's not really a problem for the big players. For social media it won't matter, it's already 1000x1000 jpgs compressed to shit.Their data use won't reach the cap either way.For netflix and such paid streaming it's no biggie, most users only use like 100GB so they'll just raise the price €5.For youtube and tiktok it might be a little challenging, just because they have so many free users. They really might need to limit them.The only bigger companies that are hit hard are gaming, this does indeed make it almost impossible to run game stores where you sell a game for €0-50 with unlimited installs but each install will cost €6 in tax.
>>110211476>where asbestos is put in baby formulawhen did that happen
>>110211658It was actually baby powder, he's remembering wrong. J&J did that for ages, it's a relatively recent scandal.
>>110205993Isn't it possible to bankrupt some companies and websites with just a bot mass downloading files? What the fuck?!
>>110211476>USA>too little regulationYeah maybe stop posting about countries you've never been in pajeet. The reason we have to import all our shit is because it's literally impossible to run a competitive business to make the things here, which is why we end up with melamine in baby formula produced from China. We would rather ship products over the world several times over rather than pay for domestic production because of regulation.You just never hear about regulation because we have nothing to regulate anymore. Instead you hear about what we substituted in, China and illegals.
>>110211809wtf I love jews now
>>110205993everyone needs to vpn to france i wonder who pays the bill, probably the vpn company or maybe they will move their servers outside france if this comes into effect
>>110205993Good. This will make corporate bullshit unavailable there.
>>110205993We'll go back to 2 GB of RAM in 5 years so that makes sense.
>>110210773>Only 11 members of the Parliament voted in favor, 10 against, 14 voted blank. That's out of 577 members of the assembly. That says a lot about how democracy really works.How fucking shitty are the rules of your parliament that it doesn't require some sort of quorum of members to function?Just 30 people can show up and pass legislation? That's fucking insane.
>>110211683Yeah the baby formula asbestos was chinese, thankfully it is only allowed on pet food now.
>>110210773>Only 11 members of the Parliament voted in favor, 10 against, 14 voted blank. That's out of 577 members of the assembly. That says a lot about how democracy really works.lol wat
>>110205993France is on fire.Their bills are just words on paper.
>>110210285>yet Ukraine keeps fighting, supported entirely by the EUWhat are you talking about retard? EU is having a real hard time even finding funding to cover the Ukrainian national budget. They can't find a way to get everyone on board with the loans and they can't convince Belgium to be on the hook for looting Euroclear.The people are rioting in France because French government keeps threatening to cut benefits, increase retirement age, etc. Obviously French people who were promised a robust welfare state and a comfortable retirement aren't ok with it being dismantled in their face.There's no mystery here.
>>110206199The French (maghrebians) have been getting really annoying so that would be a benefit
>>110211683they werent adding asbestos to baby powder thothe problem is talc and asbestos are frequently found together in nature
>>110213896Yes, the problem was that they knew for ages that their powders were contaminated and they hid it.
GTA6 is something like a 210GB gameIt would cost the host over $20 EU to just tranfer the game to the customer, every time.
>>110214065Inevitably it will be charge per download or France will be blocked, then French cheeseniggers will riot until the state gibs them welfare to pay the markup.
>>110207463Just offer DVDs or BluRay discs again simple as
>>110213602>oy vey it's just a coincidence that far-left groups in France, Italy, Portugal and Spain are all chimping out at the same time using the same playbook>what do you mean that the organizers they detained in Spain were clearly using the "student" shit as a cover and the operation was meant to loot and cause chaos? That's just a coincidence as well>KGB glowniggers would never do that. They haven't been supporting far-left movements across the world, that's fake news. It's just a coincidence that Cuba, Iran, Venezuela, all the leftist governments in South America, Asia and Africa were allied with Russia; in reality Putin is a bases rightwing nationalist tradcath like usFuck off.
>>110214101The French will just start taxing you on the max capacity of the disk media regardless of how much data is written on itYou can't avoid the tax man
>>110205993altought i've been living in switzerland for half a decade i keep being more and more ashamed of my homecountry lmao.
>>110210582what a way to put it lmao
>>110214378Sweden and same
>>110212452why do you think the french are so angry all the time lol.and these people get payed like 10k a month on euro taxes to not even show up.
>>110210773>Only 11 members of the Parliament voted in favor, 10 against, 14 voted blank. That's out of 577 members of the assembly. That says a lot about how democracy really works.lmao wtfwhy doesn't a government assembly require quorum of like 40% or more of the total members before voting can commence?my fucking strata meetings require quorum and our time at meetings are unpaidpoliticians get paid to sit in these meetings and they can't even be bothered to show up?
>>110205993>vlc will get taxed to hell and shutdownmpv wins (again)
>>110214407how will they have the time to eat cheese, drink wine and commit adultery if they're doing something as banal as their taxpayer funded job?
>>110214407Because it hasn't passed the lower assembly. It has now advanced to the lower assembly where it may be amended or struck down. Then again in the senate.It's worrying that a subcommittee would forward the amendment, but people are getting baited by outrage grifters.
>>110206536of a fictional chara-oh wrong thread
>>110209619I see boomers and millenials scalping them, retard.
>>110205993I don't get it, how are they justifying the tax? what is the state doing for your benefit to ask for the money?aren't they already taxing the service cost? when you pay for the montly internet bill, a part of that is going to the state? which is tax on the service?
>>110216538so you're admitting to being the demand side?
>>110206966
>>110216576>how are they justifying the tax?>justifyinglollmao
>>110216576It's a shakedown on US tech companies
>>110206288in French it's octet for byte
>>110216576>how are they justifying the taxthe same way they justify any other tax: by beating the crap out of you and shoving you in a cage if you don't pay
>find a small business>curl their favicon 10000000 times>bankrupt them
>>110208728>>110208734The Boomer “Me Generation” will be forever remembered as the worst generation.It’s insane how horrid they are, sucking jew dick constantly. Old geriatric fucks need to pass on already.
>>110210518Europe is so irrelevant it’s pathetic. They can’t even fight their own war.
>>110206284its right & good that corpos be made to pay for immigrant welfare. Theyre the ones that wanted them in the first place.
>>110210741But how is that tech literacy problem?
>>110205993pay the anti zionist posts up goyim
