[governance] Hmmmm... Google: "Internet Freedom!"... (from taxes?

[Dominique Lacroix]

Tax cut is fiscal dumping. That's the connection.
Some Internet companies can escape taxes because their activities aren't 
linked to territories. Others are linked to countries and pay full taxes.

For example, in the new TLDs candidates. Some hundred of projects are 
declared in British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Cayman, Gibraltar etc.
They are US companies and nevertheless, thay are counted as European 
projects!

The real numbers of new TLDs projects are:

US: 1230
EU: 356 and not 675 as Icann displays it.
Asia-Pacific: 303
South America: 24
Africa: 17

Destroying the basic equilibria is dangerous for any people. Even 
dangerous for US people. We can see the actual results on the middle 
classes and environment...
