Illinois Social Media tax

— Illinois’ new social media tax is expected to face swift legal challenges, and legal analysts say its future in court is uncertain, with critics arguing it could ultimately be struck down on constitutional grounds.
The measure, included in the state’s $55.9 billion budget signed this month by Gov. JB Pritzker, imposes a new monthly fee on large social media platforms based on the number of users in Illinois.
The tax applies to platforms with more than 100,000 Illinois users, with fees increasing as user counts rise. Supporters estimate it could generate about $200 million annually to fund education and mental health programs.

States always claim this and nothing is ever improved and the money disappears.

Population is 12.7 million.
If I were a platform, I’d block Illinois access.

Illinois is not entering new territory. The city of Chicago’s similar social media tax is already being challenged in court by tech companies, highlighting the legal uncertainty around such measures.

They already have the tech for that.

These frickers truly have never met a tax they don't like (other than pretending to be concerned about taxing the poor). The want ALL of your money so they can distribute it as they see fit. You and everything you have belongs to the state.
frick them with a red hot poker.

Implement IP filter to block all users from Illinois. Users spend $6 a month for a VPN to use IG. Zero dollars for that fat frick, but the population pays the piper. Good. You voted for him.

It could also go to buying government official's housing and sports cars.

Its fully illegal.
Under the U.S. Constitution, Congress has the exclusive power to regulate and tax interstate commerce, as granted by the Commerce Clause.
Its just a scam to pretend the budget is balanced.
