Because politicians attack things perceived as bad by the public. If there's a time to implement such a tax it's after a year of sensationalist (and largely fake) news about FB and Google, from exaggerated data breaches to helping terrorists.
- megous 7y agoNo. I have a database of all news article titles from major Czech Media over the last decade, and there's precisely 2 news about google and data leaks and 2 news about google helping terrorists.
- Fnoord 7y agoI don't know about (any) Google data breaches but the Facebook data breaches are neither fake nor sensationalist.
