That's still data that had to be transferred, requiring a non zero amount of energy and therefore money. Someone pays for it; probably you through internet and electrical bills. Even if you have "unlimited" data, there's always a finite limit to transfer speed. You probably pay extra due to capitalism, but it would be a problem under any economic system. Innovation might lower prices, but the cost will never be zero.

But taxes spend on school infrastructure is nice and certainly better than spending it on murdering brown people in the middle east.

except they'll still keep spending it on that and just raise the taxes
