I was responding to:

> If they do not have the liquidity to let people withdraw money that is another issue, but it does not seem to be the case.

Withdrawals are still blocked.

I don't see how a business like cloudflare can remain serving French customers.

So if you get DDoSed you can get another huge bill?

The ISP is responsible for collecting the tax so they would know the sources.

> get the snark but to be fair, the company has been growing like crazy. That makes it really hard to keep track

Sounds like an excuse to me.

> Q: Am I affected? How will I be notified?

> A: We are sending notices to affected individuals in phases, so not everyone has received theirs yet

That doesn't answer why they are doing it in phases.

Do you have any wrappers or scripts to facilitate this?

People tell me you can just have directives in a markdown to tell AI not to use certain directories or privileges. They really have no idea.

You did not say lifetime medical costs initially but compared adding 2 years to a 90 year old vs 10 years to a sick 60 year old.

> Keeping a relatively healthy 90 year old alive for 2 more years costs significantly more than keeping an unhealthy 60 year old smoker alive 10 more years before they have a heart attack or stroke.

The tax seems to be general, not limited to video/audio. Like downloads of the VLC client.

Population statistics showing it is cheaper to prolong the life of an unhealthy 60 year old for 10 years than a relatively healthy 90 year old for 2?

Letting any vendor arbitrarily update code running on your customer's computers without even your knowledge is insane.
