So, the French socialists, and Parliament members just voted a tax, that they don’t understand, which would cost VideoLAN more than 1 million euro per year.

@LaurentLharditQuoting @reesmarc: #PJL2027 Adopté par l'Assemblée nationale : la "taxe assise sur les flux de données numériques émises par les fournisseurs de contenu et acquittée par ces derniers"
