Why doesn’t it surprise me to hear that France is planning to begin taxing ad revenues that big names in the industry make most of user visits. The companies that will be taxed include Google, Yahoo, Microsoft and of course Facebook. Those names could bring in massive amounts of revenue that can be used to fund new projects.
The report states that the estimated revenues could mint as much as 20 Million Euros annually and all that from the US based Web giants. The money generated will be used for making the online experience better and of course for paying the artists who have their work scattered all across the Web. The idea is pretty appreciable given it would pay back those who make an effort to improve the quality of content online as well as providing even better content for the massive population.
