That's for sure

2019-07-11 22:15:43 UTC  

Not anytime soon either

2019-07-11 22:15:48 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:15:51 UTC  

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.

2019-07-11 22:16:12 UTC  

Right, but on what

2019-07-11 22:16:13 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:16:15 UTC  

Let's get this internet bill of rights underway already

2019-07-11 22:16:18 UTC  

Like ordering twitch prime?

2019-07-11 22:16:28 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:16:47 UTC  

Or is it taxing outsourced labor?

2019-07-11 22:16:56 UTC  

Service is service, a government will get your money.

2019-07-11 22:16:58 UTC  

offshored, not outsourced

2019-07-11 22:17:06 UTC  

That's not an answer...

2019-07-11 22:17:25 UTC  

On products, Twitch Prime is a product.

2019-07-11 22:17:30 UTC  

Got it

2019-07-11 22:17:34 UTC  

Sounds reasonable

2019-07-11 22:17:49 UTC  

Everything is a products.

2019-07-11 22:18:07 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:18:13 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:18:19 UTC  

I am almost certain that he will...

2019-07-11 22:18:21 UTC  

Double tax is your problem, Coolitic

2019-07-11 22:18:27 UTC  

?

2019-07-11 22:18:42 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:18:44 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:18:59 UTC  

Cuz that'd be silly and baseless

2019-07-11 22:19:02 UTC  

And stuff is double taxed all the time

2019-07-11 22:19:08 UTC  

By the USA as well as other countries

2019-07-11 22:19:27 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:19:42 UTC  

Talk about ungrateful and spiteful, lol

2019-07-11 22:19:52 UTC  

I really dislike SV, personally

2019-07-11 22:20:03 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:20:05 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:20:22 UTC  

I would disagree

2019-07-11 22:20:45 UTC  

I doubt most of you could go without it

2019-07-11 22:20:51 UTC  

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

2019-07-11 22:20:54 UTC  

If they went, competitors would take their place

2019-07-11 22:20:59 UTC  

People wouldn't need to go without it

2019-07-11 22:21:00 UTC  

I'd be so much better off without em

2019-07-11 22:21:01 UTC  

Not that simple

2019-07-11 22:21:15 UTC  

We dont need it we literally dont lmao

2019-07-11 22:21:20 UTC  

You do
