Reasons not to use Change.org
Change.org requires users to run nonfree software in order to sign
anything.
I am always sad when I see that a petition I would like to support
is hosted on change.org. That site requires visitors to run
nonfree Javascript code in order to sign any petition. I won't
publish a suggestion that people do this. I wish the site
maintainers would fix that.
Alternatively, would someone who knows Javascript like to figure out
how the site works and write a free script or Web-extensions front
end for signing petitions on that site?
I wish I could sign a petition, but if it is on a site
that requires
nonfree Javascript code, I will neither sign it nor suggest that
anyone else do so.
I urge people to call on the organization to change this, and in
the mean time, not use the site.
