Just hopped in to check and it looks like we’re effectively DDoSing the Petition site by refreshing.

You can either join the watch party on the official discord, or use some other tracker website to see the numbers get updated to help alleviate the traffic so that more people can sign.

    Don’t stop promoting it though. Some signatures might be found to be invalid. Same with the UK petition that reached its goal yesterday.

      That’s pretty much guaranteed. Some said the safe threshold is 1,2 m, but who knows how the number actually looks after validation. So any signature is still important.

        Yeah. I’m actually worried that some people entered bogus data in an effort to boost the petitions.

          Wouldn’t surprise me if large corporations that are against this forced their non-EU/UK employees to sign this in an attempt to kill it.
