Who is this going to affect? The business:
1) between Facebook/Google and advertisers based in France?
2) between Facebook/Google and any advertiser as long as the ads are shown to people in France?
3) between Facebook/Google and any advertiser as long as the ads are shown to French people?
If it is the first, then I don't really see a problem. FB and co can either stop doing business directly with French advertisers, or eat the tax, or increase the prices.
If any of the others, then how would one go about determining how much money to pay without infringing on people's privacy? What would stop FB from either declaring a token amount of "business done in France - as per the options 2 and 3" or even say no business happened? How would the French gov check that? Get the list with all ads shown by FB over a month along with who they showed the ad to so the gov can check if those people where in France or not?

- pbalau 7y agoThis is the case no 1 in my post. What you quoted refers to points 2 and 3.
- baud147258 7y agoSorry, I misread your post. I think that the tax don't apply for points 2 & 3, since it only concerns revenus made in France.
