This is a little frustrating. Don’t get me wrong, the site should definitely exist and serves a useful purpose. My criticism comes when I read that they have ~300 employees. They are ranked 1,269 globally on Alexa. Craigslist is ranked 99 globally with only 30 employees. Even more so, on Glassdoor their benefits include “Fully stocked kitchen with everything you can imagine, catered dinners, massages, game room, nap…

Not every company is Craigslist or aspires to be. It can be argued that if Cragislist had more employees they could do more for their users.

There are some petitions on change.org which I, as a citizen, would like to petition against (rather than for). A petition may have huge support but it also may have huge opposition... that opposition is not shown on change.org. Not showing the opposition to an issue paints a skewed image that I hope politicians can recognise. For example, if the evangelicals made a petition to ban abortions in USA, it could potentia…
> For example, if the evangelicals made a petition to ban abortions in USA, it could potentially get a lot of support but yet there is no way for others to show their strong opposition against that as well. Plus, even if somehow the evangelicals and those supporting them were to have the upper hand in terms of numbers, you still can't do things like ban abortions based on numbers alone. Basic, more modern human princ…
What process should be used to decide which are these modern human principles that are too important to be left to majority rule, and who gets to participate in that process?

I truly cannot understand how such a non-profit website could implement Google analytics, which tracks the users. Any desire to sign the petitions disappears. They could utilize piwik analytics.
I don't think it's worth tossing out such a statement without at least some justification of the tradeoffs and costs. Do you think it is a smart deployment of capital and mindshare to spend money for server costs, eng implementation time, and devops time to maintain and scale piwik? Do you think piwik will realistically work on a website with 180 million users and growing? From what I can tell, Change.org would be on…
It's weird that GP is downvoted for suggesting that Google should not be given a free pass to spy on a site that contains sensitive information about people's political opinions.

How about no analytics at all?! It's weird that GP is downvoted for suggesting that Google should not be given a free pass to spy on a site that contains sensitive information about people's political opinions.
This discussion got me thinking about releasing my own open source replacement for Google Analytics and how I would achieve that. Seems like such an interesting challenge.
