I tried to fill it out in Firefox, and the "hcaptcha" field says "rate limited or network error. please retry". When I click "support" it says "sorry, we couldn't save your signature! The techies have been informed." It's a pity, I support the initiative, but I fear they might get far fewer signatures as people who are willing to sign. Maybe their captcha service has decided not to support the initiative?

same, couldn't get past the captcha (chrome) and if you pick for them not to email you, they try to trick you with dark pattern (all trust gone)

  The captcha worked (after two tries), but on clicking SUPPORT the form vanishes and I get no feedback at all. No idea if this worked or not. This website looks untested with Firefox and an ad-blocker, which really is not uncommon for people worried about privacy.

I have the same issue. I guess it might be due to my adblocker . It feels like it lowers the credibility of the initiative.

  It's making a POST request to https://captcha.reclaimyourface.eu/getcaptcha https://captcha.reclaimyourface.eu/getcaptcha so unless you're blocking all captcha URLs then I would have thought that it would work. You probably also need JS enabled.

I had the same issue, but after a few more tries it went through.

That's the Hcaptcha provider issues, we are in contact with them to lift this restriction.

  Why are you using hcaptcha at all? It forces anyone who wishes to sign to support an external commercial service. That may limit the number of signatories you get. And that's not even starting about it being a European initiative for European citizens and hcaptcha being a U.S. service.

Me too, captcha broken. It's already bad that it want's your complete name and address. Yet another data set with me in it that will get hacked and sold at some point. And, without knowing what else it's going to demand on the second page. What if it suddenly asks for stuff I don't want to give on page 2 (copy of passport or something)? Now I have already given my name and address, and that is already in that database, so if I quit at that point I've just put my personal info in a database for nothing. I get why they make it so hard to participate as a citizen though, the EU isn't exactly democratic.

Yep, was unable to get past the captcha: "Your computer or network has sent too many requests". Great initiative, but execution could be better.

This was an implementation issue that bit them briefly at launch, and is now resolved. hCaptcha is quite a big supporter of privacy, and has been coordinating closely with ECI. (source: work on hCaptcha)
