If they profit off Canadians then they need to be taxed. They should use the revenue to set up fediverse services.

The tax would be a three per cent levy on the digital services revenue a company makes from Canadian users above $20 million in a calendar year. It would apply only to companies with annual worldwide revenue of more than about $1.1 billion. Alphabet Inc. and Meta Platforms Inc. are among those set to be impacted.
The government points out in the budget that at least seven other countries, including the U.K., France, Italy and Spain, already have similar taxes in place.
Algorithmic advertising big tech companies (Meta, Google, Amazon, etc) generate profit at the expense of society. They blindly follow short term algorithms with no regard for their impact on society. We obviously should tax them but we should also make sure our laws enable us to prosecute people who profit by destroying society. Hold them accountable
and break them all up
A class action lawsuit of several billion people would be kind of cool. Award everyone with $1000 minimum for the last decade+ of damages and see what happens 🤗
Thanks Canada!
Sincerely,
A Spiritual Canadian
On behalf of Canada, we welcome you with open arms, open hearts, open bottles of maple syrup and freshly opened cans of slightly better beer :P
The USA should apply the same taxes.
gO Canada!
Oh that’s funny. I like you.
Yes, please tax them! We can hardly get them to pay our own taxes here in the US.
