@singlepenny @randahl The DSA provides a list of VLOPs (very large online platforms) which have increased reporting requirements. This could be extended to include taxes on revenue generated within the EU.
Do I have specifics or examples of how to implement this? No, but I’m neither European nor an economic policymaker. It’s well outside my capabilities to even concoct an idea of how to do it.
Regardless, speaking as an American, it needs to happen. Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Google, Google, Google, Google, Meta, Microsoft, the business formerly known as Twitter, and Google (multiple duplicates because multiple monopolies under the same parent organization) need to pay their fair share in Europe and the rest of the world. Their power needs to be severely diluted so their control over technology fractures and competitors or open source products can replace them.
