    Has that website actually achieved anything of relevance?

      Anytime I see a petition for anything, it’s usually hosted there.

          Yes, I’ve just explained this. The achievement is being the go-to place for petitions.

            So you indirectly actually answered it: No, it didnt.

            In case you didnt notice: I wanted to know if they influenced anything.

    Use whatever platform your country uses for Citizen Initiatives, it’s often more effective than that website.

    What would being open source accomplish? I think the official sites of governments are better suited because there is at least some official recognition involved.

    Is the lack of source code access the problem with change.org? It’s just a one-sided popularity poll website masquerading as activism.

    I never heard about somebody reaxhed something with change.org… Its Mord like a data Grab site…

    I mean the Herman gvmnt has an official site for such stuff for example https://epetitionen.bundestag.de/epet/startseite.html
