The countries were the companies are established.

  Ah, so it would only require a global coordinated effort to decide on limits and taxes, as well as to avoid havens where companies could avoid such regulation. I suppose that isn't as absurd as I thought.

    This is the exact creation of a global monolith that I'm warning against. People hate the companies in power, but believe creating an even more powerful entity will magically address their concerns. That's only true when you get to the largest conceivable entity.

    Not at all. Substack is not a global entity, we could start by having the US government taxing them more first. "They will just move elsewhere", you'll say, and the response will be "Fine, then the US government can tax US-based customers and employees of the "foreign" Substack."

      So now we're taxing users of a platform once it gets to a certain size. Interesting.

        Precisely. Customers who want to avoid the extra tax will have to find a different service provider, leading to better distribution of the market. Mission accomplished.
