Please look a the video it will explain the problem whole lot better than I ever could. But if you think it is important please sign the petition.
The EU Commision is rolling out a law that will severly impede our rights when it comes to digital products.
I don’t want to live on this planet anymore :(
This timeline sucks balls.
So the European Comission will not act on the Stop Destroying Videogames initiative, because it wants to focus on deregulation, because apparently current regulations are too much of a burden on businesses (source needed).
And the same European Comission is perfectly fine implementing new regulations for the purposes of… ruining everything for everybody and establishing close to the most totalitarian regime in existence right now?
See, there’s always space for new regulation, as long as it benefits the oligarchs, and nobody else but the oligarchs!
Lobbying is corruption and the EU got ruined by it just like the USA.
But Ross says in his video even the lobby thinks this is too excessive. Makes me wonder who’s behind it then.
The companies that are going to provide the verification services to the businesses probably.
Sounds like the working class of the USA and the working class of the EU have a common problem then.

Do I have to be in the EU to sign it?
Yes
Or an EU citizen
Thanks for just giving me the link. Didnt feel like watching sad news in the morning.
Signed. Thank you.
This law will literally end indie game studios in the EU. Or at least prevent them from selling in the continent they are based in.
Signed
The EU doesn’t represent the interests of ordinary people.
It’s the EU Commission under Von Der Leyen. The European People’s Party got 13 seats out of 27 in the Commission. It’s the Christian democrat /conservative /center right liberal party of the EU. No wonder they are for this law.
The EU Parliament has people in it that are actually fighting for us.
Like ?
What the shit. I’m surprised its not the US doing this. I know they will, but still.
There’s a popular misconception that lobbying doesn’t exist in the European Union. It does. Big money is constantly trying to sway and buy politicians into their interests, everywhere, and their interest are always right leaning social control. There’s also a right wave going on in the world. The EU is leaning right, and with it there’s a raise in popularity of dumb backwards legislation.
Also the EU Commission are not elected, they’re nominated.
The only part the EU Parliament has in there is a confirmation (take it or leave it) vote on commissioners other than the head.
It’s a perfect setup for moneyed interests to buy themselves whatever laws they want for an entire block of nations with 470 million people and which has a Gross Domestic Product close to the US.
So most of the EU crap comes from the EU Commission (though recently the EU Parliament itself renewed Chat Control when its head used a procedural trick to do it at a time when many parliamentaries were already on vacations and without needing a majority of parliamentarians to approve it, so shenanigans are an EU Commission monopoly).
