Simply I'm trying to adopt some project tags to an existing internet gateway, by using data statements

data "aws_internet_gateway"    "internet_gateway"  {
   filter {
       name   = "attachment.vpc-id"
       values = [ aws_default_vpc.network[0].id ]
   }

   tags = var.tags
}

I've also checked with aws cli, here is the output

aws ec2 describe-internet-gateways
{
    "InternetGateways": [
        {
            "Attachments": [
                {
                    "State": "available",
                    "VpcId": "vpc-***"
                }
            ],
            "InternetGatewayId": "igw-***",
            "OwnerId": "***",
            "Tags": []
        }
    ]
}

The filter I've used were in the example of terraform official documentation web page https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs/data-sources/internet_gateway

You should remove the tags section from the Terraform data lookup. You are instructing Terraform to search for an internet gateway that has those tags, but as you can see in the CLI output the internet gateway doesn't have any tags assigned to it.

On a Terraform resource element, specifying tags would cause it to assign those tags to the resource, but on a data element specifying tags causes Terraform to use the tag values as part of the search it performs.

If it still doesn't work, you will need to verify that the value of aws_default_vpc.network[0].id is what you are expecting, i.e. the same value as VpcId in the CLI output.
