@jwildeboer I tried to sign it two times, but the procedure was quite annoying. I don't even remember if I managed to validate it or not. I think it was a major problem and for sure some people (even motivated) just let it down at some point.

@jwildeboer Think better, how do news propagate ? (ads, Social media, TV, newspaper) ... so who own them ? the billionaire ?

Now you know why nobody knew about it ... and so signed it ...

@girlintech And didn't we create federated networks to have an alternative way to spread information?

Aleksandra Lesya

@jwildeboer i signed it and many people relayed it on their social where the most people are (x, Facebook etc) and people rarely share 2 time the same link on differents network.

We moved here but 80% of the global user have not (and in this 20% a very VERY little part is european) and on this very little part, you take that 1/3 will actually sign it.

So yeah that explain many thing

@girlintech Compare it with the "Stop destroying videogames" petition. That already has reached quorum in 6 countries. I guess that egoistic goals will do better than solidarity https://citizens-initiative.europa.eu/initiatives/details/2024/000007_en

@antoinechev @jwildeboer hmm what was annoying there? And from which country are you? (It often totally depends.)

AFAIK you just need to enter address details. You can try that with any other good #eci and as indicated by the OP it's always good to look and sign other good ECIs too.
