If I cared what France wants or had any intention of paying it, France's dumbass "internet tax" would cost me 25 EUR/month minimum just to run my Mastodon instance.

If every country did the same thing, last month it would've cost me 856 EUR, again ONLY for Mastodon.

Unrelated to Mastodon, if I look at my Unifi router dashboard, I used 1.2 terabytes TODAY, just at my own house. If I lived in #France they'd want to charge companies 66 EUR for that bandwidth!

I would say I can't even imagine a stupider tech law, but unfortunately as of late there are a lot of stupid ones to go around. This one definitely ranks up there though!
