Facebook tax defence backfires

Accepted submission by Anonymous Coward at 2020-09-04 12:09:56 from the Death and taxes dept.

Facebook could be hit with a massive brand new tax if it moves forward with its threat to block all Australian users from sharing news on its platform. In response, Facebook threatened to ban the sharing of news [news.com.au] which then resulted in a threat to tax Facebook for news [news.com.au] or rather "digital transactions". The Australian government appears to have predicted Facebook's response and had draft legislation drawn up ready to respond.

Death and taxes.
