You may consider signing the UK effort, but that isn’t looking chipper either.

Same for me, no Switzerland option.
So I can only encourage EU citizens to do it.
Same, no Norway
Sign the UK parliament one
Fucking piratesoftware…
I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.
He abandoned his hardcore group to die in DireMaul. I have no respect for Thor.
I see more people talking about this in the Stop Killing Games discourse than SKG itself, maybe that’s why its failing.
A Lil bit of column A and a little bit of column B.
But spreading misinformation on it definitely did hurt it.
Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?
Ah, another post where I get to rant about Piratesoftware. Fuck that self righteous, egotistical, fear mongering, ignorant, big headed, grifting, skript kiddy, cornball. Dude couldn’t be assed even to read the Q&A, then makes up stuff about the initiative out of thin air. Dude is such a little weezel, I can’t BELIEVE he still has a following after his hate campaign against the initiative. The fact that anyone outside of his immediate family cares about what he has to say boggles my mind.
TLDR: Thor, not my cup of tea personally.
Louis Rossman is, at best, a “free speech absolutionist” libertarian, but he is probably the youtuber with the most experience actually working to get consumer (well, small business) rights legislature passed. And he specifically talked about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4zH8bJDI8
In a nutshell: It doesn’t matter if thor is a dipshit (he is and always has been). Attack the arguments, not the person. Because others will have similar complaints and all “He is a fucking prick and he didn’t read the FAQ” does is hurt your argument and make things seem culty.
Because if it really WAS actually addressed (and understand that a response is not necessarily a refutation), point that out. Rather than require people to go dig through a bunch of youtube videos and blog posts.
Signed it ages ago when it first came about, and it’s really sad to see it still hasn’t gotten enough signatures.
Yes please sign the petition!
lol did you see my comment and post the article I linked?
Anyway this is a dead end clearly. Part of it is so many of us can’t even sign the petition. Bummer these guys are done but i guess we just need to find a other way
Information on Personal Data:
To sign, you must provide a set of personal data, which is required by the authorities of your country for verification purposes. Specific measures are in place to ensure the protection of your data. See our privacy statement.
Perhaps if signing a petition didn’t require doxxing yourself then more people would sign.
I realize that it’s to prevent fake signatures and allow verification that the signatories are residents of the jurisdiction under petition, but this method inherently creates a sampling bias.
In the same vein as age verification, we need a solution for digital attestation that preserves anonymity and privacy. There are some initiatives in this direction, so perhaps we will get there some day.
