Which petitions were those actions caused by?

because 99% of gamers do not give a fuck.
Then why would any government care?
atro_city said it well:
If the SKG movement doesn't organise, that's all we'll get: a communiqué to shut the hell up.
Over a million Europeans have signed a petition in less than a month. Why only Europeans? Big ecelebs like PewDiePie and Critikal have made videos on this. It's got a lot of people interested. Why not get everyone in on something more direct? Something international? Why does the world need to sit and wait and hope the EU parliament fixes everything? It seems like a waste of momentum. It needs to be more than just a European petition. A call to boycott the worst companies until they change their EULA and TOS would be a great start.
My point is that the movement should be doing more than just signing an online petition. What happens if the EU parliament declines to make any changes? Nothing? Oh well we tried? What will you do?
How? I genuinely believe something along the lines of an organized boycott would be far more impactful than a hail mary petition. The reason I think it wouldn't work is because most people couldn't commit. That's why I said this isn't activism.
It's not activism if you're not putting in any effort. I don't care if people downvote me, but at least post an actual opinion. Have an actual stance. I'm glad others have posted some, although all of them seem to be along the lines of "this petition will definitely fix everything so we don't need to try anything else".
All famously solved by an online petition
