That's because it is corp. Videogames Europe is the lobbing organisation of the Euopean gaming indusry

It's also a strawman argument. Because yes, developers have less to no control over the operation of private servers. Yes, that means they can't moderate those servers.
But
This initiative only covers games, not supported anymore by the devs anyway. Meaning legally speaking everything happening to private servers would be literally not their concern anymore. And new legislation, should it come to that, would spell that out.
why this does not happen at the time of signing is beyond me but whatever
Data protection. The EU doesn't do the validation, they don't even have the data necessary for it. That job falls to the national governments. But why share the data if the initiative wasn't successful in the first place.
Don't get too excited, because this is a prototype (by Timothée Giet) and isn't connected to #krita itself. But... You can get a feel of the way the workflow goes. I was really satisfied playing with it on my phone.

Stop Killing Games is an European Citizens Initiative aiming to keep games playable even after their developers and publishers have stopped supporting it.
To get the initiative onto the EUs agenda so it has the chance to become EU law, it has to both reach 1 million signatures total and minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries. Now both of those goals have been reached. But that's no reason to stop signing! Some signatures will get thrown out in the validation phase because the signee made a mistake. So keep signing and show the world just how many people are in favour of saving videogames.

Turns out people need villains with faces. And the gaming industry wasn't personable enough to truly hate.
Stop playing games?
Thank you for your service

Those national thresholds have been thresholds have been reached. Now it's all about getting to 1 million signatures total.
Even if you are from a country that already reached the threshold you can still sign. Your signature counts to the 1 million goal.

Not necessarily. Both have their drawbacks. It takes longer for new hardware to be supported on Debian and setting up a Nvidia grafics card is more complicated
You should try pangolin. It uses Traefik instead of Caddy under the hood but it automates approximately 80 % of setup. It's what I use for my setup.
One thing you can do: In person organising. It's something the campaign has been really bad at. Have some flyers printed up and start handing them out. I don't know the Italian school schedule, but if universities are still in session they might be good targets.
I did it last year, first at Gamescom and then at a local uni and I think it helped spread the word.

That part of the argument is slightly different. If I understand the press statement correctly, what they are saying is: "Some servers can't, on a technical level, be hosted by the community". And that's not a straw man (arguing against something never asked for), that's just a lie. We have access to all the same stuff as the industry (AWS etc). Hosting these kinds of servers might be very expensive, but the initiative only asks for a way to keep games alive not for a cheap way (though I would prefer a cheap way of course)
