A fair chunk will have come from the US. I would not be surprised to see a 20% drop in the end. Hope this goes somewhere for everyone’s sakes. And as always, avoid signing if you’re not eligible!
it’s just name/age/address. And I expect a decent chunk to be from outside the US because people are terrible at following directions when an issue pertains to them.
I think it depends on the country. If you click on their instructions for different countries—Itally, for example—they have screenshots that show needing a document number like a Personal ID card.
From Belgium it was also necessary to provide your social security number. And as more EU countries are moving towards e-id, I would assume there will be a negligible amount of non-EU signings.
You have to input your name, address, and various ways of establishing your EU member state, such as an EU electronic visa/id, or your specific EU state drivers liscence or tax id or some such, and the form makes it very obvious you must actually be an EU citizen.
Examples:
Poland
Portugal
Estonia
Its possible there could be spam or accidental/malformed inputs… but if you are putting fake info into an official government portal, especially en masse, thats potentially a number of crimes, and if its a genuine mistake from an EU citizen, it seems like there is a review process where people will be contacted and allowed to fix up their info.
Also, technically, there are a few countries with more lax submission requirements, such as the Netherlands, likely due to more intense personal privacy laws… but its not like this system is not logging people’s IPs, not like they won’t be taking that into acount.
This isn’t a change.org petition, its an official EU government portal for a core process of democracy.
Knowingly falsifying info on this is again, potentially a large number of crimes, as if you say lied on voting registration, or lied to Social Security or your US state’s unemployment assistance system.

My understanding is you need to input identification data, like a driver’s license just as an example, to sign.
They expect some invalidating, hence aiming for over the million, but why do you think a “fair chunk” will be from USA specifically?

No, not for the vast majority of EU States, no, it requires an actual official government id like the EU eID, your tax ID number, something like that.

Just logged in via CSAM, didn’t need to take out my eID or enter INSZ.

Wow, what an unfortunate coincidence. TIL.
finally, a non invasive ID just upload child pornography
I was asked for my ID number for Portugal.
It’s a popular proposal, and gamers like to game the system.
No, no no.

I wouldn’t put it past American gamers to make stuff up.
