We the People Cell Phone unlocking petition needs 10K sigs

That's... odd. Truthfully, I have distinctive knee-jerk reactions in both directions about that.

On one hand, US policies often have global ramifications (although I'm cynical enough to think that nothing a petition here will affect will have enough importance to matter in that respect). Also, it's often useful to get the perspective of people in general, wherever they are in the world, in case there's some sort of general consensus (although it would be a consensus of educated internet accessing elites in many parts of the world...)

On the other hand, it's a site for the US government to solicit information from US citizens. People from other countries registering their opinion doesn't really fit all that well with that goal.

Thank you for starting this. Even though it's US based only, if it pulls through it will set a very good precedent that can be replicated towards other countries.

Hope you get it up to 100k. Good luck!
