Palestine does not appear on Google maps. Why not? Israel, established on Palestinian land, is clearly designated. But there is no mention of  Palestine. According to Google, Palestine does not exist. The omission of Palestine is a grievous insult to the people of Palestine and undermines the efforts of the millions of people who are involved in the campaign to secure Palestinian independence and freedom from Israeli occupation and oppression. This is an important issue, as Google Maps are now regarded as definitive by people around the world, including journalists, students and others carrying out research into the Israel-Palestine situation. Whether intentionally or otherwise, Google is making itself complicit in the Israeli government's ethnic cleansing of Palestine. Please join us in calling on Google to recognize Palestine in Google Maps, and to clearly designate and identify the Palestinian territories illegally occupied by Israel. Please remember to share this petition with your social media contacts. Thank you. Zak Martin Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1694829384126063/      

There is a great many people who rely on captions to enjoy content posted on YouTube, for a variety of reasons. Some viewers are hard of hearing, some have audio processing disorders, and some watch content created in a language other than their own. Community captions have allowed these communities to come together and enjoy content they otherwise wouldn't have been able to. Removing community captions locks so many viewers out of the experience. Most creators will be able to create captions for one, maybe two languages, but that's going to take a lot of time which they may not have. Community captions ensured that many videos were accessible that otherwise would not be. People from so many different backgrounds, working together to enjoy content together -  why remove that? We're calling on Google to reverse the decision to remove the community captions feature.

I have been scared, broken and sick to my stomach ever since I read messages about my 13-year-old daughter including, “I hope SHE KILLS HERSELF. Seriously nobody will care”. No one, especially our youth, should have to read messages like this about them. These messages were sent through an app called Sarahah, which can be downloaded for free on both the App Store and on Google Play. Sarahah is an app where people can make anonymous accounts and send anonymous messages to and about others. Because of the anonymous nature of the app, Sarahah has become what users describe as “an app breeding suicides” and “a breeding ground for hate”. My daughter and I have been shattered by this app, and tragically another teenager, in the UK, was found hanged early in 2017 after allegedly being bullied on a similar app called Sayat.Me, which was shut down in May. Both the App Store and Google Play have policies against apps that facilitate bullying, harassment or self harm. Why then is Sarahah still available on these platforms? No parent can stomach this abuse of their children and I cannot even imagine losing my beautiful, sweet girl to suicide. This is why we need to protect our children. I read an article on ‘Dolly’, a 14 year old, who after so much bullying, took her life just after the New Year. Dolly felt that her only way out was suicide. I do not want my daughter or any other to become the next Dolly. App Store and Google Play - help us protect our most vulnerable and ban bullying apps like Sarahah now. #speakevenifyourvoiceshakes #doitfordolly  

On December 14th, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is expected to take up a proposal to repeal Net Neutrality. The plan the repeal Net Neutrality is expected to be successful.                      As such, we'd like to extend this opportunity to                Google, Amazon, Apple & Facebook to do something great...Save The Internet!   As the information and business backbone of our society, this decision would be nothing short of horrendous - imagine what your cable company will do when they can treat the internet like cable.    This attack on the free and open internet, one that has allowed the US to lead global information and tech innovation,  will suffocate US innovation and seriously damage the economy.    Therefore we humbly call on Google, Amazon, Apple & Facebook to pull all their services - Gmail, Google Drive, Google Maps, GSuite, Google Docs, Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google AdWords, Google Analytics, etc.; Amazon, Zappos, Amazon Web Services, Audible; iTunes, iDrive, Apple Music, etc.; Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, etc from any ISP that takes advantage of any rule weakening or destroying Net Neutrality.   We also call on Google, Amazon, Apple & Facebook to vigorously oppose any government to allow ISPs to block, slow, or otherwise discriminate against certain content or applications.                              Imagine a world where we're still all using AOL on dial-up.   Changes to the new rules include any changes to network access or speed, either to the benefit of those who can pay more to have their content move faster than others through the network of an ISP, or to the detriment of those who do not, in effect forcing ISPs to treat themselves as "common carriers".                                                    _______ If Net Neutrality is not upheld, internet service providers (ISPs), generally your cable company, will be able to decide which websites you can see, prevent you from accessing any website they see fit, charge you extra for access to certain pages or services (think $5/mo for Facebook!), and destroy new innovations.

A Google Doodle is a special, temporary alteration of the logo on Google's homepage. The Armenian Genocide was the Ottoman government’s systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects from their historic homeland within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915, the day Ottoman authorities rounded up and arrested hundreds of Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople. The total number of people killed as a result has been estimated at between 1 and 1.5 million. This is why we have the responsibility of spreading awareness about the genocide, and why Google should get involved for all humanity.  --- Google Doodle-ը Google կայքի լոգոտիպի ժամանակավոր այլընտրանքային տարբերակն է: Ապրիլի 24-ը Հայոց Ցեղասպանության զոհերի հիշատակի օրն է: Հայոց Ցեղասպանությունը Օսմանյան կառավարության ծրագրած` իրենց բնօրրանում և կայսրության տարածքում բնակվող հայերի զանգվածային տեղահանումն ու բնաջնջումն էր: 1915 թվականի ապրիլի 24-ին Օսմանյան իշխանությունները Կոստանդնուպոլսում(Ստամբուլ) հավաքեցին և ձերբակալեցին հարյուրավոր հայ մտավորականների և առաջնորդների, այնուհետև` սպանեցին նրանց: Մարդկանց թիվը, ովքեր սպանվել են Ցեղասպանության հետևանքով շուրջ 1,5 միլիոն է: Սա է պատճառը, որ մենք պատասխանատվություն ենք կրում Ցեղասպանության մասին մարդկությանը իրազեկելու համար: Google-ը պետք է մասնակից դառնա այս գործին` հանուն  ողջ մարդկության:

On July 14, 2019, our angel, Bianca was violently  taken from us at the age of 17. The murderer posted extremely graphic and disturbing photos of Bianca’s lifeless body on social media. The photos were uploaded and shared to several social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube and Discord.  The images remained highly visible on Instagram and Facebook for over a week. Almost a year later, the images are still being shared on social media. Bianca’s family has received numerous direct messages of the pictures on Instagram and Facebook. Further, when users reported the images for violating community guidelines/standards, many users received a response that the images did not violate community guidelines/standards or that the images would remain up with a sensitive content cover.  There are no words to adequately describe the pain, anger and feeling of loss our family is feeling after losing Bianca. To then have our daughter’s death exploited and mocked on social media is a trauma no family should have to endure.  Several of Bianca’s friends found out about her death from seeing the photos.  This exploitation and harassment on the internet cannot continue.  Social media and other internet companies must be held responsible for the content that is allowed on their platforms. We must demand that social media companies put in place software to detect violent and graphic images and block them before they are uploaded and shared.  As a last line of defense, companies must have an adequate number of trained content moderators to ensure community compliance.   Bianca’s Law seeks to preserve free and open speech online while addressing the proliferation of illicit content. The language of the Bill corrects the expansive interpretation and application of Section 230 which provides legal cover for companies that facilitate illicit content. This legislation is based on a recommendation made to Congress by the Department of Justice in 2020. Bianca’s law creates three narrow carve-outs under which internet companies would lose their 230 immunities: 1. A company purposefully acts to promote, solicit, or disseminate illegal content; 2. A company has specific knowledge of content on its site that violates the law; and 3. A company does not remove illegal content after it receives notice of a court ruling that the content violates the law. The legislation also requires internet companies to maintain a public reporting mechanism so that users can flag the company of illegal content on its service. Beyond the Section 230 carve-outs, Bianca’s Law also includes: 1. Social media must be required to immediately disable and suspend accounts of murderers live-posting their murder AND those accounts impersonating the murderer.2. Social media must have, use, and enforce a policy to stop the dissemination of banned (hashed) images in any and all forms.3. Social media must be required to provide a crisis response center to respond in real-time to parents whose children are the victims of crimes on and through their platforms, including but not limited to child sexual exploitation and livestreamed or live-posted murder, rape, and violence. This crisis response center is to serve the purpose of stopping the spread of harmful material and preserving evidence for law enforcement and/or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.              4. Social media companies must have, use, and  enforce a policy recognizing the intellectual property interest of estates of deceased users. Parents’ Bill of Rights All social media companies must have, use and enforce a policy recognizing a parent’s right to control their deceased minor child’s social media accounts. We also believe that parents must be given control of all their childrens’ social media accounts whether the child is alive or deceased PARENTS BILL OF RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO A CHILD’S SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS 1. Ownership and control of a minor child’s social media account should automatically transfer to the parents or legal guardians of that child upon the death or incapacitation of that child. 2. Any profits made by the social media through the posting of such graphic images should be placed in a “special fund” for victims. The social media companies must not be allowed to profit from the posting of such graphic images. 3. Social media must have a system for monitoring the profits made from postings of such graphic images retroactively to the time when they were ruled as inappropriate. 4. Social Media should not be allowed to “profit” on the viewing of images including but not limited to child sexual exploitation and livestreamed or live-posted murder, rape, and violence. 5. People who download, re-post or send/distribute these images should face criminal and civil penalties Please sign this petition to show lawmakers that we will not tolerate the spread of violent and graphic images on the internet!  We need laws enacted to force companies to protect citizens from the trauma and harassment that Bianca’s family and friends have endured for the past year

After failing to comply with the Children's Online Privacy Protect Act (COPPA), Youtube was made to pay a 170 million dollar fine; the largest COPPA fine in history. Due to these privacy violations, the company announced new rules and regulations regarding children's entertainment on their platform on September 4th, 2019.  What does this mean? In the coming months, creators will be required to say if the content they create is made for kids. This will in turn, limit several features on the platform that was originally accessible by everyone. This includes no longer having personalized ads, no matter if an adult is watching the video or not. Personalized ads and monetization allow for many toy and family YouTubers to make it a full time job. Removing this feature will effectively leave many creators without a job.  Other changes that will be implemented will lead to decreased creator/community interaction. Comments will not be allowed on videos along with likes/dislikes, the community tab, and live streaming.  Creators should not be punished for Youtube's inability to comply with COPPA. If these changes go into affect, many online toy and gaming communities that thrived on Youtube including My Little Pony, Littlest Pet Shop, Disney, and Roblox will no longer be able to exist.  Youtube, please consider revising these changes. They will have several unintentional consequences that will effect lives and communities of many who have used your platform for years. 

There is a channel on YouTube by the name "If vs But" with 1.4 Million subscribers and is vehemently spreading hatred about our Prophet Muhammad PBUH. He is continuously using vulgar languages and speeches against Islam.  Please report the channel immediately and ask your near and dear one's to do the same. It's not an option but a duty of every Muslim. 'If vs But' has gotten away with a lot of stuff. He took it way too far this time.  It's disgusting and shouldn't be tolerated. But with the power of the internet I think we can get rid of this once and for all, with your help of signing this petition it could lead to  deleting his entire channel!  We request YouTube to delete this channel immediately who is promoting Islamophobia and using vulgar speeches against Islam thus violating all YouTube Terms and Conditions.  So please sign the petition here and also report the YouTube Channel 'If vs But'.  Also share this petition with all your nears and dears. Let's stand strong against such communal forces who are trying to defame Islam. 

Desmond 'Etika' Amofah was a legendary YouTube streamer / entertainer, he pioneered YouTube Gaming and put the platform on the map with his insanely entertaining streams and loyal fan base. He was loyal to YouTube Gaming from the beginning. We the YouTube community and the Joycon Boyz, demand that his YouTube channel be reinstated so his legacy can be archived. Years of memories are gone due to his misconduct of a few uploads, and we think someone who has done so much for the YouTube platform should be allowed to have his greatest moments archived on YouTube forever. Please consider, think about how much he has done for you YouTube, think about all the years of his life he poured into his channel, and restore those memories. Thank you for your time. Linklight, the Joycon Boyz, and the Internet
