Unblock Quotev

The Issue

I use Quotev to publish my creative writing to the world. I have all the data and everything on my school computer.

Just today, they blocked Quotev using the spyware disguised as a "child safety and website monitoring software" known as Securly. I have hundreds of readers on Quotev (in total), and I made a promise to each and every one of them that I wouldn't just disappear like other people on the platform have. I swore that I would at least tell them in the very unlikely occasion that a work of mine was discontinued, and now I can only contact them for a minute at a time before Securly kicks in and blocks the site. I only have enough time to share this petition with those who count on me.

 

For privacy reasons online, I will be emailing the school this petition from my anonymous main account, so those who see it online cannot trace it back to me.

 

Besides, there is a CREATIVE WRITING club at my school- and blocking a site that I use to share said creative writing with the world is unjust.

 

Please, support this and help me continue my passions. You don't have to chip in any money or anything- all I ask of you is for you to sign this petition, and maybe share it.

 

(If anyone asks about "how is the impact of this categorized as 'global'?!" That's because my readers/users/followers are from all around the world- the USA, the UK, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Australia, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Mexico, Canada, China, etc etc.)
