It's an official campaign run by the EDRi (European Digital Rights) and it's members.

If you are in the EU, please sign the petition to change the law to something that respects peoples' privacy!

(And please share, if possible. Thanks!)

Is it really safe to give your real full name and address to a random website, also your ID card number and DOB? It really looks legit, but it could easily be a scam. Is there some way to check?

If the EU really requires all this personal data, it's an effective guarantee that no petition will ever succeed. You'll never find 1M EU citizens you are foolish enough to reveal all that to a random bot.
