It’s an official campaign run by the EDRi (European Digital Rights) and it’s members.

If you are in the EU, please sign the petition to change the law to something that respects peoples’ privacy!

(And please share, if possible. Thanks!)

    Is it really safe to give your real full name and address to a random website, also your ID card number and DOB? It really looks legit, but it could easily be a scam. Is there some way to check?

    If the EU really requires all this personal data, it’s an effective guarantee that no petition will ever succeed. You’ll never find 1M EU citizens you are foolish enough to reveal all that to a random bot.

        I’d rather like to see people being treated with compassion when they are expressing their concerns. I don’t think an “us vs. them” mentality will lead us anywhere. In the end, we’re all in this together.

        I mean, I also had to take a deep breath while singninh the petition, since I’m not used to post that many private details online, too.

        Anyhow, I can understand your reaction and the frustration. If we, as a privacy concerned group of people, don’t sign up for this, who else would?

        So thanks for signing up and sharing. Let’s try to change something for the better!
