Speaking for myself, I have no problems with the overall idea, and I doubt that a lot of the others who have signed the petition do either.
The problem is in the details of how it is implemented, and that appropriate safeguards are not written into place to protect the privacy and legal rights of those who (re)identify. I know some European users have raised concerns about how the overall policy does not work for them and/or would cause them to break the law. I don't believe that they should have to stand alone.
