We cannot accept that 1% of Europeans own half of EU wealth
We cannot accept that workers pay an effective tax rate higher than billionaires
Today it’s #TaxtheRich Day and I sign the citizens’ initiative calling for an #EUwealthTax
Take action! https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/?lg=en
@PaulNemitz I want to sign this initiative, but I don't because they ask you to share too much private information
@barver333
They are not asking for a lot of personal data. Your identity and your address. Basically any website ask you for more when you order something online, like a phone number or an email, which is not the care here.
@PaulNemitz
@canard164 @PaulNemitz that's true, but still I would rather not share these data if not absolutely necessary
@barver333
They need to verify the identities to avoid having 3 million signatures from "John Doe". This is an official process that could influence the politics of the EU, so they must check who is signing.
A bit like when you vote, your identity is checked so you cannot vote twice.
I find it a bit sad to refuse participative democracy because of this reason. This is the opportunity to be heard out of national votes, with the same personal data involved.
