French Assembly Approves New Data Tax on Internet Traffic
Original: French national assembly votes 0.055€/GB internet tax
France's National Assembly has voted to introduce a levy of 0.055 euros per gigabyte of internet data, a move that could raise costs for streaming platforms such as Netflix and for services like cloud storage, game downloads and general broadband use. Critics warn consumers may end up paying more on subscriptions and downloads, while supporters frame it as a way to fund digital or cultural infrastructure.
Why now: The tax directly affects the price of everyday internet services, prompting debate over who will ultimately pay.
