Oh, those crazy Frenchies: Facebook faces family photo tax in France • The Register

Facebook should pay the French government for hosting the holiday photos and status updates of the French people, a new report commissioned by the French government has suggested.

The new 200-page report* on taxing the digital economy – commissioned by four French Cabinet Ministers – proposes that France should tax data collection. The touted idea would see new tax bills from the French government landing on Google, Facebook, Amazon and any other web companies that store data about their French users.

tackorama is the word of

tackorama is the word of the week-end 🙂
just back from disneyland paris talk about commercial – and talk about american – you could almost forget you were in france except every now and then one of the staff spoke in french.
we stayed in the hotel new york and from the mickey mouse soaps to the empire state lamps it was tat city – the entire theme was taken way too far and way too seriously.
we did manage to escape the compound and smuggle 2 bottles of vodka back to the hotel though 😉 so we had a really good time actually.
I’ll blog the gossip when I have more time tomorrow.
