Do you think banning end-to-end encryption is plausible? Think again. - GitHub - davidchisnall/banning-e2ee-is-stupid: Do you think banning end-to-end encryption is plausible? Think again.
Wouldn’t it be easier and more direct to simply impose a tax to those external big tech services?
I don’t understand why using protection against “bad actors” as an excuse is necessary at all if getting money from big tech were the ultimate goal. A lot of people within the EU would happily support such a tax targeting big US companies, it’s the privacy problems what we are pushing against, not the fees. So I’d expect a more direct and honest fee for external companies making business within the EU would be easier to pass if that were what they actually wanted, wouldn’t it?
