I decided to include Pinterest in this petition because I discovered that HubPages set up phony accounts for others (using their identities and content) without their express permission or knowledge. Naiza Oclares died August 20th, 2013, Dr. Chris Day was offline, and AstroGremlin did NOT consent to the transfer of his work (like me). For screenshot proof and links: https://plus.google.com/u/0/107889574670988423996/posts/g1mueMFDy1x HubPages is profiting from both their identities and content. And there ARE others. Pinterest states: "We'll only respond to request from law enforcement. If you aren't law enforcement and have an issue, browse our help articles." Source: https://help.pinterest.com/en/articles/law-enforcement-guidelines I also decided that a better video was in order. I needed to document proof on August 31st, 2014 at midnight that I was locked out of my account and unable to delete my content. Yes, the quality of that video is poor. Hence, my new video that has three parts. The key points that I cover in my video (and the references and screenshot proof) are as follows: Bonnie Diczhazy assured me in an email: "PS - Squidoo was NOT sold : )" My Google Analytics issued this "high priority" alert that I noticed on July 15th, 2014: "At least 351 pages are missing a valid tracking code for property SousababySquidoo" And yet I ONLY had 297 lenses [articles] left on Squidoo BEFORE June 27th, 2014. Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20140627140956/http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/sousababy Gil Hildebrand knows the truth. When I contacted him about the tracking code he apologized twice (odd) and suggested it was some upgrade issue with Google Analytics. I was ALREADY upgraded though. See screenshot proof here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/107889574670988423996/posts/2BctuLmKsMo And what about Squidoo's Terms of Service: http://www.infobarrel.com/Media/Squidoo_TOS_about_protecting_privacy Notably these phrases: "We don't ever sell your email address. [Mine was sold and so were hundreds of others.] "We're committed to keeping your lenses and identity protected from others ..." "We will NEVER, however, disclose personally identifying information, except as specifically authorized by you ..." Well, my identity, profile info, content, photos and videos are STILL on HubPages making money for HubPages and perhaps Amazon and whoever else (not me). Source: http://hubpages.com/@sousababy Remember Robin Svedi? Well, she still follows me on Google plus. So Robin, do you remember this disturbing exchange with Mickey G (whose husband died unexpectedly July 9th)? https://plus.google.com/u/0/107889574670988423996/posts/6EEbWjpm6LE Yeah, you told her to "click the green button ..." In fact, in this InfoBarrel forum thread: http://www.infobarrel.com/forum-topic.php?id=12140&page=5 Dancingqueen (aka Marisa Wright on HubPages) assured TanoCalvenoa (Jonathan Nielsen) that "... when the site closes down the site closes down - so they [articles] will disappear." See Reporting a Shill for more about this person's obvious connection with HubPages executives: https://www.change.org/p/kamala-harris-hubpages-writers-are-entitled-to-all-earnings-and-removal-of-their-author-content/u/14422110 On August 26th, 2014, TanoCalvenoa (Jonathan Nielsen) made sure Corey Brown (former COO of Squidoo) was aware of my intentions in this public post: http://www.infobarrel.com/Media/TanoCalvenoa_tells_Corey_Brown_about_sousababys_intentions Source: https://web.archive.org/web/20140826040429/http://hq.squidoo.com/squid-news/important-update-on-the-hubpages-transition/ On August 28th, 2014, Corey Brown posted: https://web.archive.org/web/20140901035953/http://hq.squidoo.com/squid-news/reminder-hubpages-opt-out-deadline-is-tomorrow Notably, he stated: "All lenses on Squidoo will automatically be deleted after the transfer is completed." "We want to make it clear that even after tomorrow’s deadline, you will have complete access to your Dashboard, stats and the Workshop (without Publishing), and you’ll be able to continue to backup your account." Further along he states: ""Everything is on track for the timeline to begin converting accounts on Tuesday, September 2nd." And these aren't all the ways people were deceived and treated unfairly. More proof of deception is found in my article: http://www.infobarrel.com/HubPages_and_Squidoo_the_Lies_Youve_Been_Told My point is this: Squidoo HQ members were fully aware of my wishes. They had from August 16th, 2014 until September 12th, 2014 to CHOOSE whether or not they were going to sell / import my email, identity, profile info, content (including photos and videos) to HubPages. [Even though I am certain this sale was made late 2013 or early 2014.] On September 13th, 2014 I received a phishing (yes, phishing) email from Hubpages, shown here: http://www.infobarrel.com/Media/Reported_First_Email_From_HubPages_to_Google_For_Phishing I reported it because it qualifies as phishing via Google's OWN guidelines: http://www.infobarrel.com/Media/Google_Help_About_Phishing_Page And as most of you know, I hit a brick wall with Amazon. In short, Amazon told me: "... further inquiries related to this matter will not receive a response." You can read their emails here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/107889574670988423996/posts/HSb1rYysTeT So here's the deal: the little guy writers making a few hundred per month (for their family and charity) is basically informed by HubPages, Google, Amazon, ? Pinterest, and a lawyer that you need to file this suit in federal court (costing at least $5,000) since it falls under "copyright infringement." But what about unfair and deceptive business practices? What about using someone's identity to profit from? This HAS to be illegal! And it needs to stop. This is precisely how the 1% keep getting richer. Seth Godin and Paul Edmondson have successfully manufactured consent. Well, unless I get more signatures and we declare victory. Please share this with anyone you know who cares about economic equality. I'd also wish that residents of Flint, Michigan receive half of any monies recovered when the FTC investigates HubPages. If you (or anyone else) has information regarding possible violations of state or federal statutes, rules, or regulations, or violations of fiduciary responsibility by HubPages Inc., call the California State Attorney General’s Whistleblower Hotline at 1-800-952-5225. You can also reference my FTC complaint REFERENCE NO: 61039505 (which I submitted to the Federal Trade Commission on April 9th, 2015). Take good care, Rose
