If your talking about the European Citizen's Initiative, that's not your run of the mill change.org petition that amounts to nothing but an inbox full of spam. If 1.000.000 EU citizens sign it, the European Commission
may consider itwill be required to debate it and therefore may propose legislation to support it. See here: https://www.eesc.europa.eu/en/initiatives/european-citizens-initiative.It's not just a case of "they may consider it". It's a case of "they must talk about it".
You're right, I've updated my comment.
Also the founders get invited to personally present their proposal to the Parliament.
I feel like I am missing something 😅. Side note Everyone please don't stop signing EU: https://eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public/#/screen/home UK: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/702074/
Some Youtuber complained about how the wording was to strong and would hinder companies abilities to make games or something.
Lot of people responded with “no you idiot, it’s just a petition it’s not legally binding, also why the hell are you spouting the boot licking arguments”
And more people have responded with “no actually it does legally required the EU to debate the topic at hand”
So now there is a buzzing mailstorm of “discourse” that is generally poorly informed. I suspect that some major media conglomerates might be doing astroturfing inflame the situation and muddy the waters.
Also a lot of this has been with from us Americans and Canadians, which is just kind of funny.
Thanks
