      They seem to be a french intiative and struggled to get attention in other parts of the EU. It took until last week for some bigger non-french online voices to come onboard and push the petition

      It really is a challenge to get into the different public (media) spaces of the various EU member communities

      I guess the closing deadline also gives it a sense of urgency and in nonfederated communities it could be that it becomes trending because so many people talk about it at the same time.
