Care2 is a shady petition promotion site, with low customer service skills and ethics.
Be careful about joining that site. While officially its purpose is to create “Largest online community for healthy and green living, human rights and animal wel”, the reality is not so clear. First, you must provide a complete and accurate personal information. Which, some members allege, is then sold to third parties and they will contact you for their fundraising. Second, the site serves as a propaganda tool for extremist Vegan, Leftist and Islamist views. Several aggressive members, with links to the site administration, regularly stir anti-Israel and anti-Semitic sentiments and promote “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” anti-Israel campaign, still managed by the Arab Boycott Office. The Care2 administration was repeatedly notified of such campaigns, clearly violating written Care2 Code of Conduct, yet nothing was done to stop these trolling violators. Actually, accounts of people who protest the trolls are terminated instead. Third, the moderators lack both the customer service and basic ethics skills. They never warn members about pending account termination and do not provide explanations for such termination. For those who had been a member of this network for years, established connections with friends, loaded tons of personal photos and had a great deal of correspondence stored at Care2 mailboxes, a sudden loss of all that comes as a great shock and major inconvenience. It is unclear what the purpose of this site is and who pays them for hundreds of petitions they encourage members to initiate. Their claims of having tens of millions members is a lie to scam advertisers, because the number of accounts never goes down, not when people pass away or have their accounts terminated. Joining and running activities on Care2 may result in bitter feelings later when your membership is suddenly terminated without any explanation and all emails, connections that you established over the years and personal photos are lost.
