"Google and Facebook have not yet responded to our request for comment on the report"
Yeah, too busy pissing themselves laughing!
Perhaps the people who try to make laws ought really to understand how these new-fangled computers work.

Quote: Sorry but for legal reasons FaceBook has chosen to not be unavailable in your country.
Please switch to a different country or consider upgrading your government.
(Because ultimately I suspect FaceBook, google etc would block access to their sites by French users before setting a precedent of paying a ridiculous tax like this. If France keeps this up they'll find themselves shut off to the modern world as companies refuse to talk to them anymore.)
The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is SILENCE, the second is LISTENING, the third MEMORY, the forth, PRACTICE and the fifth is TEACHING others!

"... and thus France lost its chance to be a nation blessed by God."
Quoting one of my sister-in-law's teachers; she went to an elementary school run by a fundamentalist Christian church. The teacher was actually commenting on some historical event where France was less than cooperative with the U.S.

Google will then charge the French government for "Search results" and Facebook can charge for providing "posts from Friends" - or just pull the plug on the French and knock 'em back to the dark ages.
