And we are now headed to where this will be a thing of the past. We will no longer need to worry about companies just doing what ever they want. We will have no say in the matter as the FTC is turned into a front for nefarious deeds. All consumer protections will be stripped and tossed away like week old banana peels.
What do the poor need with internet in public schools anyhow? They will all go to good for profit schools where the quality of education is the last thing on the school's mind.
Perhaps they will no long be able to operate in Beverly Hills. I can't wait to see their next porn movie that takes place in a cardboard box outside of a Walmart. I am sure someone will buy it.
BUT, to get any money from this TAX they would have to prove that their articles are backed up by facts and failing that are unbiased. 90% of the tax would go to paying 3rd parties doing fact checking. This tax would not be paid for by tax payers but by ISPs and any service that shares the articles. If the Article is found to be lacking of real facts, then the Media company will not get any money and will have to pay a fine each time equal to the tax charged to ISPs for at least a year for every offense. They would also have to not sue companies like google for linking their articles. Also, any Linking page owner who pays the tax, those who follow the link can not be stopped by paywalls.
