@papiris@hachyderm.io @4censord@unfug.social it just says there's a number for how many signatures you need for openpetition to request a statement from a responsible authority. In this case, from members of parliament The idea is that that number is high enough for it to be significant to their constituency, i.e., ignoring the openpetition request **might** have measurable influence on their outcome. Nothing relevant to the parliamentary process in Germany.

@funkylab@mastodon.social @4censord@unfug.social glad you had a look and chimed in! In that case, the petition will have stronger leverage if it gets moved to the bund petition platform. Luckily the petition just started, so moving it now wouldn't be a devastating loss (4000 signatories so far, so still a significant setback). Is this the official bunds petition platform? https://petitionsportal.de/ I have very little knowledge about the democratic process in Germany (and meetings tomorrow in both the workers' coop me and others are organizing and https://datakollektivet.no), so it would be awesome if someone (maybe you? :) ) could contact the organizers of the petition to bring up these concerns and suggest moving the petition to the place where it'll legally force a debate in the bund.
