It's simple

Tax charities

No that's retarded lol

You're a fool

lol

In before "BREAKING NEWS: Amazon removing books from its store due to political bias"
oh, wait...

I bet u wanna tax homeless people too

We already do

Idiot

With sales taxes

Are you slow?

true

Nuh uh what homeless man u know pays taxes

Amazon are very large in the hosting and backend services sector too, ET

Sales tax exists regardless of ur status

Similar political interference there

No

That's not the question

These industries alongside social media need regulating

What homeless man u see paying taxes

The ones that buy things

Retard

So sales taxes

Incredible

Can u believe this guy fellas?

i wonder if post brexit theyll lower VAT, that tax is a pile of garbage

You know there are decently wealthy homeless people in San Fran, right?

Your honor I rest my case 😤

You know taxes are always based on percentages, right?

Doubt it, System11

This tax looks like a tariff on digital service, or something like that.

That sounds amazing

On digital service export.

A tariff on digital services

So like outsourcing?

Labor or product?

Yes

The day will come when taxation becomes an untenable concept

Not today

That's for sure

Not anytime soon either

Nicest solution would be to force digital service companies to open companies in the countries they operate in and ensure all revenue from that country is passed through and taxed via that company

Because the Google HQ is in the US, the taxes go to the US government.
As we have tariffs in imported goods, i guess they are putting some kind of taxation on foregin digital service.

Right, but on what

side note: i'd like to see epic taxes on offshored labour

Let's get this internet bill of rights underway already

Like ordering twitch prime?

But tbh, i'd prefer they were regulated first as a matter of priority

Or is it taxing outsourced labor?

Service is service, a government will get your money.

offshored, not outsourced

That's not an answer...

On products, Twitch Prime is a product.

Got it

Sounds reasonable

Everything is a products.

As long as it doesnt result in any sort of "double tax"

I'm sure Trump will put some tariff on the French.

I am almost certain that he will...

Double tax is your problem, Coolitic

?

It's up to the USA not to double-tax digital service companies based in the USA

Meaning, the US and the French dont tax the same sale

Cuz that'd be silly and baseless

And stuff is double taxed all the time

By the USA as well as other countries

Meaning silicon valley should be lit on fire metaphorically by being taxed way more than what french people initiated at

Talk about ungrateful and spiteful, lol

I really dislike SV, personally

I can understand the spite - silicon valley is openly malevolent and evil at this point

But I'm not so short-sighted and childish to want it gone

I would disagree

I doubt most of you could go without it

Yeah, I wonder how would this discussion go if Silicon Valley was politically indifferent towards non-leftard voices?

If they went, competitors would take their place

People wouldn't need to go without it

I'd be so much better off without em

Not that simple

We dont need it we literally dont lmao

You do

I dont

I'm here for the discussion

Because I know how to use a computer

Why u here then coolitic go build a family already n have kids

You guys are the ones needing heavy UX and coddling

I'm busy fighting for peoples rights

"Rights"

Sheesh

U sound like antifa

UX?

you could delete facebook, twitter, instagram in their entirety overnight and little of value would be lost

User Experience

@system11 it's a lot more than that tho

Those services could be gone without

deleting google overnight would pretty much destroy the internet, parts of it alone less so. ditto amazon, you have no idea how much DNS is handled by route 53

As time goes on I have this certain feeling that the digital services will be included in Trade deals, you don't put tariffs on our wines, and we will not put tariffs on our digital services.

Literally

None of you guys would survive on a computer without heavy UX

I code for a living, darling, i'd be fine

Fine
