Jul 14, 2024

Dear Supporters,

Thank you for your continued support in our fight against the "36 Months" and "Let Them Be Kids" campaigns. After thoroughly reviewing the community guidelines of Change.org, I have determined that these campaigns are in direct violation of their policies. According to Section 1, Rule 1, Cause 1, discrimination against age is a bannable offense. The fact that these campaigns are being promoted despite this clear violation is nothing short of abysmal.

Why These Campaigns Must Be Reported
We must all take immediate action to mass report these petitions. When you submit your report, please include the following reasons:

Ageism: These campaigns perpetuate harmful stereotypes about youth, treating them as incapable of responsible social media use and silencing their voices.
Privacy Violations: The proposed age verification measures threaten the privacy of not only young people but the entire population. The collection and storage of sensitive personal information pose significant risks.
Billion-Dollar Right-Wing Media Corporations: These campaigns are backed by right-wing media corporations that seek to impose authoritarian control over our digital lives. Such entities should not be allowed to use this platform to spread their harmful ideologies.
Economic Waste: The implementation of these measures would divert essential resources away from critical issues like education, healthcare, and infrastructure, leading to economic inefficiency and harm.

How to Report

  1. Go to the "36 Months" and "Let Them Be Kids" petitions on Change.org. Scroll to the bottom.
  2. Click on the "Report" button.
  3. Select the reason for reporting, and make sure to detail:
  • Ageism

Strength in Numbers
I am proud to announce that our petition has reached a "Level 10" strength level, the highest level possible. This is a testament to our collective resolve and determination. When the odds are stacked against us, we must persevere.
