unfortunately i suspect that most new signatures are forged and botted. even if the initiative passes it’ll probably go nowhere and the organising I’ve seen while valiant has been rather poor. if it wasn’t for the drama it wouldn’t even pass the “we’ll think about it” threshold. consumer advocacy is really hard when you’re up against hundreds of millions of dollars of corporate interest and admittedly the low priority of this issue outside one specific demographic. i hope it’ll do something but i wouldn’t count on it.
