So California taxes advertising? I don't understand how this proposed law would apply.

I agree with purplecape. Unless California requires a sales tax to be paid on advertising services, this is not relevant to AdSense.

If California does tax advertising, then it is relevant.

And if it is relevant, I can't help but see this as a case of people getting upset now that their own ox is being gored. Where were they when others were the target?

Politicians say "tax the rich more" and the minions cheer.

Politicians say "tax the oil companies more" and the minions cheer.

Politicians say "tax this business and that business more" and the minions cheer.

Then the politicians come to pick the pockets of the minions - and the minions aren't so happy anymore.
