Hi and welcome to my blog! If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting and do come back.
Change.org is a social network that I think is fantastic. It is not trying to get you to talk about how drunk you got last night, how many people you slept with and who you are in love with. Change.org wants you to talk about politics, about change and about social injustices.
Yes this is a bit of a dramatic cause to be blogging about so early in the morning but one that is close to my heart and my political views. Silence is not the solution here, awareness is. Visit Change.org now, screw Facebook and their pseudo important agenda’s. This is a site worth networking through.
I advocate a very controversial change:
“End online anonymity”
I would like to see an Internet where people cannot hide their identity.
Coupled with this, I want a system which does not allow web sites to arbitrarily bar people. They must establish a code which they are then held to. If they wish to ban someone from using their services, they must agree to the jurisdiction of an Internet Court which decides these matters.
Awesome idea. I wonder if they will link their services to facebook, seeing as they just started the Pledge platform this could be a great way to organise and rally people.
