Avaaz.org: verschil tussen versies

On the page Petitioning websites we keep track of all petitioning websites we come across. We compare and adopt best practices in our site.

Some notes about Avaaz.org

In the privacy policy it says the signatory receives updates by e-mail. After receiving any of them you can opt-out by sending unsubscribe in the subject of an e-mail to complaints@avaaz.org. You can not update as easily with us, but you are also not unvoluntarily subscribed. Only after ticking a box you receive three (not an unlimited number) of newsletters. And only about the specific petition, not about related actions. We can not determine which other petitions or actions are related, we leave it up to the petitioner to refer to other petitions.

But a signatory with us can not unsubscribe to the answer a petition gets. If you do not want an e-mail with the answer you need to undo your signature by explaining this to the helpdesk (webmaster@petities.nl), much like the unsubscribe e-mail to complaints@avaaz.org, or not sign to begin with.

The difference with Avaaz is that you do not regularly get answers to petitions in those updates. You get indications on the impact a petition had in the number of signatures or attention from the mass media. Perhaps there is a hand over to authorities of the petition, but a formal reaction to the petition is rarely mentioned.
