Norwegian Finance Minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum has proposed a global tax on personal data, inspired by Norway’s resource rent tax model.

Your personal data is not a resource to be misused but a critical asset that must be protected. Taxing the usage (or misusage) of personal data won't address the real issue: the unchecked power of Big Tech.

Regulation must come before taxation. Read our take on the Norwegian Minister of Finance’s proposal 👇
