Dear undersigned,

I am completely stunned. Two days ago I celebrated the record of 64 signatures in a single day. Yesterday, we collected 182. Today, we have 318 signatures and counting!

How is that possible? Very "easy": By your help! In this case, one of our French undersigned, Corentin Huot, took initiative and (quote): "contacted multiple local and national media outlets in France (consumer, tech and general press) to alert them about the shutdown and its consequences. [...] reached out to French members of parliament as well as French Members of the European Parliament to ask them to intervene on consumer protection, sustainability and forced obsolescence grounds. [...] submitted a formal report to the French consumer protection authority (DGCCRF), describing the situation as a potential case of misleading commercial practice and software-driven planned obsolescence."

By this action, a big French news portal caught awareness and posted a news - and the rest is history: Since that day, numbers are exploding!

And this is what I would like to beg you: Please, wherever you are, try to share the petition. Get in touch with your local / national news portals, tech websites, consumer protection agencies. Whatever it is that comes to your mind. I can only do so much in my country - you know yours best! Corentine's story shows in an impressive manner, what kind of impact you can have.
And even if it isn't a similar big hit: We are over 2000 undersigned now. Even if anybody generates just one more signature - we'll be closing in to 5'000 signatures.
And - who knows - maybe the one undersigned that YOU generate has contacts that help generate hundreds more?
If Corentine had not heard about this petition, we would be short several hundred signatures - and counting.

Get the word out!

Have a nice holiday season! Thanks to you all, and to Corentine especially today.
