Also for context, this was written by Alex Agius Saliba, a Maltese MEP and vice-president of the Socialists & Democrats.
Exactly. European tariffs on goods are not going to be as effective as American tariffs as long the US imports more EU goods than vice versa.
Hit the Americans where it hurts, the Broligarchy’s tiny balls
Tax on all the shitty ads we hate anyway. It’s a win win.
Directly hit the main people. Do wealth tax of – pick some numbers – 10% over asset valued at five million euros.
The EU should make its own version of MS Office and other common software systems and transition away from that global giants
Yes! Lets show them the power of the people!
I would say in addition: ban X, ban or boycott Tesla, ban or boycott Facebook and instagram. Lets give them a bit of the power from people.
I think EU should do it.
Yes please!
I’ll watch from the sidelines with a bag of popcorn.
Yes!!! Yes!!!! 👏 do it!!! Strike now while you have a great retaliatory reason to and everyone here will appreciate it!
✅Digital Tax proposal: We tax every bit or byte that leaves or enters the EU. Let’s hit Silicon Valley where it hurts most. Let money do the talking and suddenly they’ll understand the message.
Well, we have to pay the rearmament of Europe and the techbros are a major reason for that, so it’s fair that it come out of their pockets.
Yes, hit them on the Big Tech.
Yes Finally, because the tech balance is so unfair. It is a total rip off.
Do it. They will double down in China and India operations and those countries will not pay Euro masters. That colonial era is over. BRICs only thing in common is not being lectured to by Brussels.
I really hope Canada and the EU work together on this because the United States has also spent a lot of time attacking Canada for a similar digital services tax that would have been levied against American Tech Giants that take advantage of the Canadian market and do not pay their fair share of taxes.
I am a European that has lived in the US for many years, and I can tell you that it has become obvious that Big Tech is a direct threat to democratic institutions, to the living standards of most people, and to pretty much any pressing issue one can think of, such as climate change. They are devoid of morality and operate purely on avarice and contempt for anything and anyone that gets in their way. The men in charge of these companies, like Zuckerberg, Bezos, Pichai, Musk, and Thiel, are as close as our modern world can come to wannabe feudal lords. They are in favor of unbelievable surveillance mechanisms, as well. There is really no exception to the latter as they want to not only predict all sentiment but also work in tandem with despotic governments to control all facets of life. I realize this sounds bordering on hysterical, but it is the reality.
Other than EU Digital services tax, we need to have Ireland, Luxembourg on board to raise the corporation taxes that the GAFA are taking advantage of at the moment. Without doing so we can’t hit Trump’s tech bros as hard as we want.
let’s go!
I’d prefer to see countries outright ban Facebook and X, which are proven to be extremely harmful to our children
Do euros know that we already pay a +20% tariff (vat) on everything American?
Every company on this planet should just pay there fair share of taxes or GET FUUUUCCKKED!!!!
Ban their platforms
Lets force all our schools to teach Linux, OpenOffice and some kind of open cloud tech.
Lets pay for all employees to take courses on using Linux et. co.
Start a transition towards Linux, with the Public sector leading the charge.
Use public funds to improve open source and make it much more user friendly.
let’s leave reddit !
You can’t tariff digital goods. Digital products consumed in the EU are already stored on EU servers. Also good luck getting Ireland to agree.
Yes, we should absolutely tax them.
And don’t forget to cancel your subscriptions. Make Big Tech cry big tears.
Let’s chill out on the extreme options for a sec. Americans control almost all server hardware (unless you want to start buying Chinese products which is arguably worse) and cloud infra. Not to mention, you know, the software everything runs on.
We can, however, levy massive fines and keep doing it until it is no longer profitable to break the laws. And for the love of god, please submit petitions to the European Parliament about moderating/banning TikTok, this is absurd, what is going on.
