But I also understand what you mean about people ignoring socioeconomic status or other issues when they are not at the center of the spotlight. I think it's quite clear most companies doing this just for PR. BLM movement has been going on for years, yet these companies never care to actively support it, until now that they've seen "oh shit, people actually care - better get on it now." Let's see whether this is truly a wake-up call for people to address injustices of all kind, starting with racial problem, or simply a 'trend'.
>And is EU law the issue or really 'local law'? A little bit of both. Basically different nationalities have different tax calculations and documentation required. Plus, there are extra taxes that'll eat up our margin significantly.
We are consulting professionals of course, just want to get some tips from those who might've dealt with it. (I'm also slightly worried that tax/legal professionals, especially outside of SV, don't always have full grasps of these practices.)
Hi HN community,We are a SaaS startup based in EU trying to set up an affiliate program. Since we sell globally, we want to accept affiliates globally as well.After some investigations, we realized it's extremely complex to sort out tax & compliance due to local law, unlike how straightforward it is in the US. It was quite shocking as I'm sure many non-US startups that have a 'payout'...
The only problem I have is with the language Medium used: "moving content." If Medium is indeed the platform, publications should NOT have the ability to "move" content. They can delete their publication, but articles should remain on Medium and all existing links should redirect to the article. I believe this is the case, which means the language is deceptive.
If this is NOT the case, then the product has a big problem.
