1. Facebook: Stop Blocking us from sending friend requests

I started this petition because I am sick of facebook blocking me from sending friends requests. Sometimes I get blocked even if I haven't sent any requests.

How are we supposed to become friends with someone or even get to know them if we get blocked from sending friends requests to people we don't know?! That's the point to becoming friends, send a request!

2. Have Google, Inc to remove hate sites and false info about people from their search engines

Since the invention of engine searches and the internet, suicides and violence has escalated due to people writing false information about innocent people on the internet.

For proof- please do research on all the cases of cyber bullying. Suicides have gone through the roof because Google hasn't done enough to protect the public.

Something needs to be done before more lives are destroyed.

4. We All Know Vahid Online

After the presidential elections of 2009 in Iran, news and information were affected by heavy censorship. Meanwhile, different people and media tried to cover the news.

One of the most reliable sources who was active before the election time and still is concentrating on informing people was Vahid Online who was/is active in sites such as Google reader, Twitter, Facebook, etc.

Last year, Google closed his google account according to its pseudonymous rules. After that, he is working with the name Vahid HT and asks Google to get his Vahid Online account back and to be allowed to change Vahid HT into Vahid Online.


کشور ایران، بعد از انتخابات ریاست جمهوری سال 2009 میلادی دچار سانسور شدید خبری و اطلاعاتی شد. در این میان، افراد و رسانه های مختلف سعی بر پوشش و ارسال اخبار در شبکه های مختلف اجتماعی اینترنتی داشتند. یکی از موجه ترین و معتبر ترین گزینه های دریافت اخبار که از زمان قبل از انتخابات شروع به کار کرده بود و تا امروز همچنان مشغول خبررسانی است، فردی است که با اسم وحید آنلاین، در سایت های گوگل ریدر، فیس بوک، توئیتر، فرند فید، اینساگرام و غیره فعالیت می کرد
شرکت گوگل، سال گذشته برابر با قوانین مبارزه با شخصیت های مجازی اش، پروفایل و دسترسی ایشان را به سرویس های گوگل قطع کرد. پس از آن، ایشان با اسم وحید اچ تی در سرویس های گوگل فعالیت می کند و با توجه به اینکه در بقیه ی سرویس های اینترنتی که نام برده شد، همچنان اسم وحید آنلاین موجود و فعال است، مقتضی است شرکت گوگل با برگشتن نام وحید آنلاین موافقت کرده و پروفایل وحید اچ تی را به وحید آنلاین تغییر دهد.

6. Speak Up! Speak Out! To Stop Sexual Abuse

Sharon R. Wells is a survivor of child sexual abuse. At age 14 she could no longer suppress the traumatic secrets of being abused. She felt alone, abandoned, damaged, guilty and responsible. The guilt and shame impacted her life in a very negative way. The deep embedded scars of abuse carried over into her adult life, causing much pain and suffering. Had resources been available for teens during that time, there is a great chance that she may not have experienced such life-long suffering. Sharon's story is just one of many who continue to suffer in silence because of sexual abuse.

There is an estimate of 60 million sexual abuse survivors that live amongst us in the United States of America. Because sexual abuse leaves victims feeling ashamed and guilty, most victims never tell. The secret torments them and causes life long suffering. Research has shown that the population of teenage abuse victims have been known to take their own lives, engage in drug and alcohol abuse, experience depression, rage, post-traumatic stress disorder amongst many others. If the trauma is not treated, some victims are doomed to repeat the cycle of sexual abuse.

The only way that we can save our future generations is by educating and empowering them to speak up and out. We must provide resources and support that will encourage them to break their silence and seek help and be aware of their surroundings.

7. Demand of immediate release of 2 citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan

“IRELI” Public Union operating in Baku, Azerbaijan, consisting 12 member organizations and over 25.000 young activists is submitting petition to the broad audience, NGOs, human rights defenders and young activists all over the world calling for the help to release two young Azerbaijani poets who were groundlessly accused and detained in the Islamic Republic of Iran more than two months.

“On 29th of April 2012 two Azerbaijani poets Farid Huseysn and Shahriyar Hajizade visited Islamic Republic of Iran in order to participate at the poetry festival. Soon after when they were planning to come back Azerbaijan on the 2nd of May in Tabriz city they were kidnapped and detained by persons in civilian clothes.

Two months has passed since unjustified detainment of Azerbaijani poets. In spite of the fact that within this period of time the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan has already gave 5 letters of notes to the Iranian side but yet it has not given desired outcomes. Unfortunately Iranian authorities have not yet provided reasonable information about the reasons of detainment of Farid Huseyn and Shahriyar Hajizade.

Moreover, each attempt of meeting with detained citizens of the Republic of Azerbaijan by the Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tehran and Consulate of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tabriz was declined by Iranian officials. We would like to emphasize the fact that behavior of Iranian authorities is contradicting internationally admitted conventions and taking into consideration the fact that Iran is the member of UN and is part of the globally admitted civilization we find such behavior unreasonable and unjustified.

According to the information spread in Iranian mass media two Azerbaijani poets were detained because of accusation in illegal drug smuggling and in espionage to Israel. Furthermore, these media agencies also claim that two Azerbaijani poets made a confession regarding above mentioned accusations and Iranian officials has given related documents to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan. However, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan found these claims groundless and denied the fact of getting any documents by Iranian officials.

We also turn to such organizations as Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International and to the human rights defenders who based in Azerbaijan to draw more precise attention to the current issue. The curios fact is that till this moment none of above mentioned organizations have not drawn up any protocol and document regarding violation of human rights of the citizens of Azerbaijan in Iran. We also would like to see any kind of appeal by local human rights defenders to the global area, foreign media representatives, and international organizations with their true voice of justice.

We wish to see Azerbaijani human rights defenders more active and sensitive in the case when it comes to protect the rights of two Azerbaijani citizens who were unreasonably detained in other country. We make an open call to everyone who cares destiny of innocent people in Azerbaijan and across the globe to join our appeal in order to protect rights of humanity in the face of Farid Huseysn and Shahriyar Hajizade and require their soonest release.

The time is ripe for this approach because for too long Islamic Republic of Iran has not only refused release of two Azerbaijani citizens, it has also continued to ignore and repeatedly reject attempts of Consulate of the Republic of Azerbaijan in Tabriz to meet with detained Azerbaijani citizens.”

8. Scarecrow dogs - Expose Bulgaria's dirty little secret

It's been going on for centuries in the mountain range villages of Bulgaria. Clear evidence of the unsurpassed, undying evil genius of the Bulgarian Homo Rapiens.

Instead of placing scarecrows, poor, defenseless dogs are regularly tied up by the villagers with a short, rusty chain to a post in the wilderness, near someone's ranch, to scare away predators. The chain leaves for little or no movement on the muddy ground.

Soiled in their urine and feces, frustrated, left without food or water for days in the scorching 40 C heat, exposed to predators, unable to fight or run, uncared for, unwanted, untreated and forgotten, they die in agony and terror from thirst, starvation, disease, or their wounds if attacked and mutilated by the raving beasts.

This kind of abuse is common and widespread. Despite the numerous tragic reports of dogs who have suffered and died in such despicable conditions, nothing has been done by the regulatory authorities or the police to amend the situation or punish those responsible.

This kind of animal neglect should never happen. But when it does, it must be exposed and stopped.

11. PROTECT THE VICTIMS OF CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE IN SRI LANKA

At the request made by the mother of a child sexual victim, the Judge at the High Court in Sri Lanka (Case No 39/2004), made a recommendation to the Attorney General to withdraw the indictment.

After considering all the facts involved and in view of the sheer severity of the damage that could cause to the victim in this particular case, the AG agreed to withdraw the charges. Unfortunately the news papers published the details of the case including false information violating the child's right to privacy and confidentiality, totally destroying the intentions of the courts and causing immense damage to the victim and her family.

This secondary victimization has severely damaged the victim without giving her the opportunity to rebuild her life.

18. Abolish law "felony non support"

The Government has enacted that it is a "felony" to "owe" child support in almost every state. In most states, If you were ordered to "pay an amount" in the "time stated", and failed to do so, and the amount has compiled to $5,000.00 or more in arrearages, that you are guilty of committing the crime of "felony non-support" punishable by up to 4yrs in prison.

There is NO DEFENSE of record to this charge, that even if you are disabled and cannot pay, you are guilty of the crime. This law needs to be abolished as it is frivolous to the rights of the people. The law by design was created to "extort" money from families, and to fund its institution!

20. Google, please don't tamper with India's map

The double standards of Google Inc in kicking out Arunachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir from it's .com page while maintaining the classic-legal Indian map on it's .in page is really alarming!!!. It is a breach of International demarcation by the organisation Google Inc, owner of google maps, which is one of the most visited websites online!!!!

Today a vast number of us use google far more than we use a pen and a library. This is why the imaginary maps that google have created and been using for a while now; have greater implications and consequences than a school atlas. It has already reached trillions of people surfing and cited by many well known international institutions. The actions taken by Google constitute a violation of our National Integrity. We may have many disputed areas in our country but no person or organisation has any right to depict it and make OFFICIAL !!!!

Till date, there is no officially approved and published international understanding regarding Pak occupied Kashmir or Chinese occupied Arunachal Pradesh. If we let these unofficial and unethical things to continue, the day is not far when we will have a world map with DOTS!

25. Remove ICR, AIG, and CMI articles from Google Scholar

There are several nonscholarly sources appearing on Google Scholar. These nonscholarly sources are AnswersInGenesis.org, Creation.com (Creation Ministries International), and ICR.org (Institute for Creation Research). These three groups do not produce scholarly material.

The information in their publications is deeply biased to represent Young Earth Creationism. The material that they publish is devoid of real scientific research and yet attempts to present it as if it were real scientific research. On top of this, these organizations also give out incorrect information as a way to dissuade people from believing real scientific research into matters such as the age of the Earth, and the validity of scientific knowledge such as the Theory of Evolution by natural selection.

Because Google Scholar has some weight, especially to youths doing research for class, it is highly inappropriate for these articles to show up under Google Scholar. Articles such as these, that have a distinct religious agenda and even go as far as giving incorrect information about science, should not be allowed on Google Scholar.

27. No to Infant Formula Ads on Google

Join Connected Childbirth and Mothers of Change in protesting infant formula advertising via Google.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has specifically stated in its International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes that infant formula companies should not advertise or give away formula samples.

Marketing infant formula to consumers is prohibited because breastmilk is the optimal complete food for infants, while infant formula poses many health risks and should only be used under the advice of a health care professional when breastmilk from the mother or a donor is not available. Companies who advertise infant formula care more about making a profit than promoting the health of babies.


Connected Childbirth offers online prenatal classes in realtime, and empowers women to make informed choices. www.connectedchildbirth.com


Mothers of Change is a Canadian consumer advocacy group advancing mother and baby-friendly care. www.mothersofchange.com

These two organizations have created this campaign, to harness the power of our voices to stop infant formula advertising on Google. Google depends on its users, and we have strength in numbers. Together we CAN make a difference!

29. Restore the Option to Turn Off Search Suggestions in Google

Since September 9, 2010, Google's search suggestions (also called "AutoComplete") were automatically enabled by default. The option to toggle the suggestions was replaced with Google Instant - once you type something, the results will pop up without having to click the Search button or press the Enter key.

Many users were getting irate that their Web activity will be disrupted by those search suggestions. One of Google's employees stated that their company's reason for making AutoComplete mandatory by default is keeping with their vision of a "unified search experience," but not to maintain different versions of the website.

However, back in its early years, Google had simplicity and functionality in mind; there was no need for such outlandish, "automated" features.

30. Release Zakir Majeed

QUETTA: Sister of Zakir Majeed Baloch, a missing leader of BSO-Azad has demanded human rights organizations for exerting pressure on Pakistan’s government for the recovery of forced-disappeared Baloch persons including her brother who were whisked away by Pakistani government agencies.

Addressing a press conference at Quetta press club on Sunday, she said that Zakir Majeed had done Masters of arts (MA)and was a social worker who had played a big role in collecting relief goods and donations for those affected by the flood of 2007 and the displaced persons of Dera Bugti and Kohlu, Balochistan.

“My brother was picked up by personnel of secret agencies when he was going to Khuzdar from Mastung on June 8th, last year”, she further added that police did not register the case of missing of her brother.

She said that her brother had never been involved in any unlawful activity and urged that if he had committed any crime than he should be produced before a court of law so that he could prove his innocence instead of keeping him in torture cells.

“We have adopted all democratic means to register our protest including holding rallies and observing hunger strikes but all in vain”, she added.

She said that UN and other humanitarian organizations should take notice of atrocities and violation of human rights in Balochistan and pressurize the Pakistani government to recover all missing persons.
