Change.org petition calls for Change.org to retract petition against Apple; says based on Mike Daisey’s lies

A new petition created by Paul Dost on Change.org calls for Change.org to retract their petition against Apple over work conditions in China at plants that assemble Apple and many other companies’ products.
The petition, “Change.org: Retract your petition against Apple,” states:
The original petition is based on the testimony of Mike Daisey which has been shown to be primarily fabrications and fantasy. The power and efficacy of Change.org is diminished by allowing petitions that are based on lies.
Apple is already doing more for worker rights in China than any just about any other IT company that deals with Chinese suppliers and they have been acting responsibly since well before anyone else took notice.
The petition, and the signature form, can be found here.
