Did you intend to reply to GP?

I dont believe anything in my comment stated the contrary.




You were complaining about a perceived double standard with this vs US tariffs.

I pointed out this wouldn't be tariffs since it's not on physical goods, hence the comparison you made doesn't really make sense.


GP was the one who specifically mentioned "some kind of tarrif on digital services", I merely responded in kind.

The technicalities of whether it's "tax" or "tariff" is irrelevant, in the context they both bring about the same desired outcome.

I skipped right past it because I understood what GP was getting at, and saw no need to get pedantic over the wording.
