    I’m fully onboard, we have to fight this for everyone’s sake.

    Not completely related, but is this 100-mil-in-profits the best option to gather signatures?
    Via wiki/Change.org:

    Change.org is a website which allows users to create and sign petitions in an attempt to advance various social causes by raising awareness and influencing decision-makers. The site is a US-based for-profit company and claims to have 557 million users as of August 2025.

    Isn’t there a EU site to petition?

    Fucking hell. When does it stop? It’s gotten shot down multiple times, so why do they keep trying? Do they see more of a chance now that we’re getting more conservative views in the EP? It’s good to see my country opposes it, but man.

    I am so tired of this shit… every year they try to do this shit again. Every year we again have to convince them not too. Then a year later they try again.

    They will keep trying until they win. Instead of focusing on important things, they just want to push laws for more control. Even our representatives should KNOW that people don’t want this.

    I always wonder that. When we mass call and email to let them know they are wrong on something incredibly obvious. Do they go “oh wow we didn’t know you didn’t want us to know your private conversations or have a list of your favorite porn categories 😲😲😲”? They should already know this.

      Take note that there are lobbies pushing for these. Security state, police and religious fanatics wanting morality policing, also politicians who re afraid of popular upheaval.

        Maybe if politicians did what the people wanted, they wouldn’t have to be afraid of an uprising against them… and if religious cunts would just stay in their churches and mind their own business…

      Instead it might be more helpful to directly contact your representatives.

      This website can help you figure out who they are, and help formulate an email send to them:

      (Obviously it is best to write your own response, or at least update the text to be your own, but it could be a good springboard)
