>these two companies have a complete monopoly over 90% OF ALL ONLINE PAYMENTS
I thought we had laws against Monopolies and Duopolys to prevent THIS VERY THING?
Former Prime Minister of Japan has officially addressed the VISA Credit Card censorship in their country.
This can spark the pushback needed against Western Companies forcing Japan to self-censor
The EU initiative has crossed 1.25 million signatures! I think 250k is the current record for invalid signatures thrown out on other initiatives, so we MIGHT be safe, but I could see us breaking that record also. The more margin we get, the better!

Important Update about the Signatures of Stop Kllng Games ECI
ECI had a call with EU IT.
Here are the head notes:
They are happy to support us with corrections and validate as many signatures as possible
GOOD NEWS: signing twice does NOT invalidate both signatures. It will be counted once, so no worries for that case of error!
EU IT will do some prechecks for bogus fake signatures before sending to member states to confirm. There is a filtration process in place before it goes to Member states for verification, so that will help already!
They asked of us NOT to spread any narratives or panic abput bogus signatures until they conduct their own investigations. Currently it is only vague rumors and hearsay.
EU confirmed 20% above 1MIL should be enough; no Initiative was ever disqualified based on signatures in this way. HOWEVER, we are also special with our meteoric rise in the past few days, so they also fully recommend & support gathering as many signatures as possible.
So go out there and keep getting more signatures! As much as possible until the end of the month. Full effort!
We have passed 900k signatures! I said this in August, and I hate saying it again: Every person who makes a mistake on the signing gets theirs invalidated, so we have to go into overdrive to make up for them. 10%? 20%? 40%? We can't stop at 1 million!

Today's the #StopKillingGames promotion day planned by the volunteers! I encourage people to make a post with that hashtag. I'm just following orders though, it's safe to label me as a boomer in regards to social media.
