@navi long-winded explanation to say that it's, indeed, just a petition, they can just throw it in a freezer or outright reject it.

@jeder it's certainly different from, say, a change dot org petition which means fuck-all

@jeder @navi we can still hope that they'll act on it, but ultimately its completely up to them. I find the distinction "this is not a petition!" a bit weird, when its effectively the same thing regarding the results.
And after that, what next? Quite honestly, the European Commission could very well decided to answer "thank you, we don't care".
-- eldritch.cafe/@TheOtterDragon/114513073336064730
or again from the EU commission's own FAQ:
Are there any means of redress if the Commission decides not to act on your initiative?

[...]
The citizens' initiative is an agenda-setting tool that obliges the Commission to give serious consideration to requests made by European citizens. However, it’s not obliged to act on them.
[...]
