Doesn't seem like it's working?

This website is incredibly skeevy. I hope nobody actually signed up for this because this looks like a great way to get the FBI knocking on your door or a foreign propaganda piece written about your involvement.
This banner should not be an SVG marquee! I don't know who said that would be a good idea but they should not be working on the site design if they're going to hide a huge paragraph with an important disclaimer behind a scrolling animation. This is a death knell to accessibility for your site. I shouldn't have to peek at the DOM just to read your website. This page isn't using a "simple Google Form". That's a lie. You're using a standard HTTP form that's using Google Workspace to process the requests. That's the furthest thing from a "Simple" Google Form and anyone familiar with Google Forms will be rightfully suspicious. Your coders are "working on a way" to prevent bad data and duplicates? You launched your site before you had all the sanity checks coded? You know a "simple Google Form" can verify data against a regex you provide and merge duplicates right? GOOGLE SHEETS ARE NOT ENCRYPTED. This line is uninormed/dishonest at best and misinformation at worst. Connections to Google Docs are encrypted via SSL but the actual sheets themselves ARE NOT ENCRYPTED and the connection is not "End to End encrypted." Anyone who got shared this spreadsheet could download a copy and distribute it to anyone they wanted using even something as basic as the "offline files" function in Google Drive. Lastly, not that I want to gatekeep based on literacy, but comma splices like this raise red flags that a message is made by a non-English speaker, which increases paranoia that your post is attached to a foreign propaganda campaign. Please get a proofreader. I've never organized a strike, let alone a nation-wide one, but collecting a massive list of names should be a huge warning alarm to most people who are used to protesting. Union busters love logs as do feds.

Fair question! Here's the screenshot from their Discord, which got shared around on the 7th.

It doesn't really say anything different from the post here, but to start off with the phrase "With Epic's permission" - that's something you don't just say out of nowhere when legal trouble is possible.
