Signed, asked few of my friends too. We're getting a solid progress - just 10 days, and 220k signatures already.

This will pass the thresholds with ease

I watched an interesting video that Pirate Software did on this topic, he covered valid concerns about the language/wording of the initiative that was troublesome. Check it out: https://youtu.be/ioqSvLqB46Y?si=gvaHdIWZQj9QEDde

tldw: this is not a law or even a draft, it is a suggestion to lawmakwrs to start discussing the subject. the wording on it will not be carried over if it passes.
