imagine a world in which if you click here you are taxed?
sounds outlandish doesn’t it, almost like the tax on email idea that turned out to be urban legend. Unfortunately this time it’s no urban legend and a tax on hperlinks is exactly what BT wants as they believe they own patents relating to hyperlinks on the intertnet.
What worries me more is the fact that to tax you they would need to know how often you clicked a hyperlink – and presumably they would also know what hyperlink you clicked…
what happened to privacy?
note to self
how's my typing?
Re: tracking – you know as well as I do that some companies (mentioning no names – aside from maybe Doubleclick, etc) do this already!
