Like extra taxes.

What taxes? Are they referring to the fines that are imposed for non-compliance with the domestic rules governing the provision of various internet services? These are sovereign countries - they're allowed to set the rules for what people do within their borders, just like we do. A few posts ago you were noting with approval the fines imposed on a company for violating our animal cruelty laws (which I also applaud) - do you think it would be fair for another country to regard those fines as "extra taxes" that warranted reciprocal trade consequences, if they didn't have similar rules?
