    A fair chunk will have come from the US. I would not be surprised to see a 20% drop in the end. Hope this goes somewhere for everyone’s sakes. And as always, avoid signing if you’re not eligible!

      My understanding is you need to input identification data, like a driver’s license just as an example, to sign.

      They expect some invalidating, hence aiming for over the million, but why do you think a “fair chunk” will be from USA specifically?

          For me i had to write my personal number which is not something you could just guess on the fly so i dont think its so easy to fake signatures.

          From Belgium it was also necessary to provide your social security number. And as more EU countries are moving towards e-id, I would assume there will be a negligible amount of non-EU signings.

          I think it depends on the country. If you click on their instructions for different countries—Itally, for example—they have screenshots that show needing a document number like a Personal ID card.

      I feel kinda helpless as an American watching the petition grow. I wonder what would happen if an American petition got big, would corporate America kill it? Would it get traction? Idk…

        They’d let it grow to near 100% acceptance among relevant groups, then seed articles to split attention and truth, and then buy 60 senators for a bag of bubblegum and two spools of string.
