This was fake news the first 900 times it was posted, and still is. France doesn't "plan" this. 10 fringe people with no power or influence suggested it. Everyone has already rejected it.

Again, here is the real story behind the sensationalized headlines https://tech-insider.org/french-lawmakers-per-gigabyte-internet-traffic-tax-11-10-vote-2026/

Headlines called it an approval, and technically it was. But the vote covered one amendment during the first reading of the 2027 finance bill, only 35 of the Assembly’s 577 deputies took part, and the government opposed it. Nothing here is law.
