The 'Petition content dramatically changed' subcategory under the 'Misleading or spam' category refers to situations where unofficial outlets and foreign entities, posing as legitimate platforms, make significant changes to the content of a petition without the knowledge or consent of the original author. These alterations can hurt, scare, hate, traumatize, and embarrass all Disney fans.

These changes can include:

• Rejecting, ignoring, or overlooking desired changes without providing a reasonable explanation
• Misleading others into thinking the petition has been accepted or implemented
• Inserting backlinks to articles that contradict the original intent of the petition

Consequences of this behavior:
Such actions can discredit and invalidate a petition, interfering with its progress, goals, and achievements. Privacy concerns may also arise as unauthorized parties gain access to sensitive information.

Examples:

• An unofficial outlet may change the text of a petition to make it ineffective or to promote its agenda.
• An article may be published claiming that a petition has been accepted when no such decision has been made.

How to prevent this behavior:

• Ensure you create and manage your petition by an official and reputable organization.
• Be cautious about sharing your petition with third parties, especially those unaffiliated with the decision-makers.
• Monitor your petition regularly for unauthorized changes.

Reporting violations:
If you suspect your petition has been subject to unauthorized changes, you can report it using Change.org's "Report a policy violation" feature. The relevant option to select is "Petition content dramatically changed."

Additional information:

• This subcategory exists to protect the integrity of petitions and prevent them from being manipulated for misleading or harmful purposes.
• Official and major news outlets generally follow ethical guidelines and do not engage in such unlawful behavior.

We kindly request no disruptive comments as they could potentially undermine our petition. This subcategory threatens our goal of reaching 7.5K signatures, as unofficial outlets and foreign entities may interfere and tarnish our efforts without Disney's oversight.

The worst problematic situation arises when unofficial outlets and foreign entities alter our petition's content without authorization, spreading deceptive information that our petition was overlooked, ignored, or rejected. They further create misleading articles with backlinks that falsely suggest our petition has been accepted, approved, or confirmed, leading to misinformation and confusion. This manipulation must be stopped, and we urgently require official outlets to confirm the authenticity of our petition to set the record straight.
