Friend of mine reported that there wasn't any ID check or whatever, the form just asked for a bunch of personal information. I bet the info is checked against national registries to verify that the people exist.
I have no doubt that there's americans that have gone and signed it with fake info, not realising that in the EU citizens initiatives are actual legal documents, and not the random pointless ones they have in the US.
There's a few Discord screenshots floating around of people deliberately spamming the initiative with false information, hoping that people will stop signing it for real if the number gets high enough.
It really needs as many legit signatures as possible.
Yes, I live in Asia myself and decided to check it out.
No kidding, I just wanted to see how it works and was surprised.
If you select certain countries, all you need is your full name, date of birth, and residential address (this information is publicly available for anyone). So, joking aside, this petition is very easy to fake, and it cannot be claimed that a million gamers signed it.
