It’s an official campaign run by the EDRi (European Digital Rights) and it’s members.
If you are in the EU, please sign the petition to change the law to something that respects peoples’ privacy!
(And please share, if possible. Thanks!)
Is it really safe to give your real full name and address to a random website, also your ID card number and DOB? It really looks legit, but it could easily be a scam. Is there some way to check?
If the EU really requires all this personal data, it’s an effective guarantee that no petition will ever succeed. You’ll never find 1M EU citizens you are foolish enough to reveal all that to a random bot.
It’s an official campaign run by the EDRi (European Digital Rights), so I would deem it to be legit. If you trust the EDRi’s members, I wouldn’t worry toooo much.
I found out about the petition from the German organizations “Digitalcourage” and the “CCC” - and at least personally, I do trust them.
Edit: I changed the post description a little bit, due to the concerns you raised. Thanks! I hope this makes it a bit clearer for people.
Thanks for this post! I signed and shared :thumbs up:
Thanks for signing up!
