This was “passed” by 10 socialists, out of a 577-person council, who held an essentially secret vote to guarantee the proposal was “approved.” This is a political trick. No one supports this. It will not pass.
In the U.S. this would be like if the 3 representatives from Wyoming and the Dakotas had a slumber party and the “caucus” decided to push a bill that required all children in the country to read the bible before going to bed, and then everyone on the internet started saying “U.S. lawmakers approve bill to force children to read the bible!!!” There’s a ridiculous amount of information being intentionally left out of that headline to get you to click it, and to encourage lazy “I only read the headline” and updoot farmers like the OP to repost it.
Here is an article that actually explains this, not some dried up old internet message board desperate for clicks. https://tech-insider.org/french-lawmakers-per-gigabyte-internet-traffic-tax-11-10-vote-2026/
PROTIP: If something on the internet outrages you or seems completely insane, it’s probably fake. Spend 10 seconds in Google before freaking out in comments and being an easily manipulated rube.
