An online global social campaign organization known as
Avaaz, has alleged that the elected controversial president of the United
States of America (USA), Mr. Donald Trump may shut down its services, reports
ITRealms.
According to Ricken, Danny, Mia, Spyro and the Avaaz team in
a press statement made available to ITRealms, said that they are worried Mr.
Trump has a way to kill Avaaz, stressing that like much of the internet, Avaaz
servers, data, email list and website, are all housed in the United State 'President
Trump' could shut us down in a heartbeat.
The Avaaz team also wondered if Trump would do it, “We
campaigned hard against him, we even filed a criminal case against his top
advisor for voter fraud. And if we've learned anything about Trump, it's that
he holds a grudge.”
They posited that Avaaz team intends to move countries and
fast.
“This won't be easy. Shifting all our technology will be
costly. But if just 0.1% of us donate the price of a drink or a meal by Jan
1st, we can make Avaaz safe before Trump takes office. Let's trump-proof
Avaaz,” they said.
Further, they noted that when the US government wanted to
kill Wikileaks, they simply told companies like Visa, MasterCard and Paypal to
stop processing their online donations. “It shut them down for over a year.
Trump could go even further to target firms that house our servers and email
list. We might never recover.“
Avaaz said they are particularly at risk because “we're a
global organization. Far-right nationalists everywhere rail against Avaaz and
"foreign" organizations who challenge their hate and ignorance. We
can't afford to be unprepared for this assault, let's Trump-proof our
movement.”
The great beauty and legitimacy and strength of Avaaz, the
team said is that all their power flows and comes from people, hence, they are so
hard to intimidate “because you won't be. But our fearlessness has made us many
enemies, and we need to be smart. Let's get ahead of what they'll do next.”
