if you're an EU citizen please vote for the petition to ban conversion therapy in the EU https://eci.ec.europa.eu/043/public/

its very close (19,000 left) despite looking like it was never gonna make it and its down to the wire. if you use the form method all you gotta do is put in your name and address. takes 2 minutes (maybe 4 cause the site is slow atm)

please 🙏

edit: the info required changes depending on what country you're from but if you're dutch like me the form method is super quick and easy

@eniko was the 38k accurate at the time of writing the toot?! did it really get 8k signatures in 10 minute?!?!
Show threadEniko FoxMay 16
@cait it was accurate as of like half an hour ago yeah!

@eniko that's wild. I hope people aren't double signing it and stuff
Show threadGabriele Svelto [moved]May 16
@cait @eniko can't double-sign because signatures are certified with your local digital ID (though that happens through a different procedure depending on the country).

@gabrielesvelto @cait I'm Dutch and I didn't need to use digid, I just had to fill in first names, last name, and address
Show threadGabriele Svelto [moved]May 16
@eniko @cait no DigID? That's odd, I wonder how they do it then
Show threadEniko FoxMay 16

@gabrielesvelto @cait its not actually mandatory to have a digid in the Netherlands, and if you live abroad

1. it's not super useful
2. it expires
3. it used to be extremely uncool to get a new one cause it required an embassy trip, which in the US would've been a flight to washington DC and in cyprus is a 300 euro cab ride. they've made it less absurd since, though, i think

@eniko @cait I see... I've got both a Dutch DigID and the Italian SPID mostly because they save me from a lot of trips to offices in both countries. The Italian version used to be really annoying to obtain, but now it can be done entirely from home with video identification. I wonder how long that will last in the age of IA-faked videos.
