Save the Internet

Save the Internet is a coalition of individuals, businesses, and non-profit organizations led by Free Press working for the preservation of network neutrality. [cite web| url=http://www.savetheinternet.com/=coalition| title =Join us| publisher =Save the Internet| accessdate =2008-03-26] cite web| date= April 27, 2006| url=http://www.alternet.org/mediaculture/35557/| title =Save the Internet| publisher =AlterNet|last =Chester| first =Jeffrey| accessdate =2008-03-27]

History

When Save the Internet formed, it asserted the idea that network neutrality needed to be protected by a "First Amendment" of the Internet. As the First Amendment to the United States Constitution includes protection of freedoms of speech and of the press, so would a proposed Internet first amendment protect network neutrality, which would allow for equal access to every website.

Function

This online activist organization functions mainly as a source for public awareness and as a catalyst promoting civic action, such as petitioning Congress to support net neutrality. [cite web| url=http://www.savetheinternet.com/=act| title =Act Now| publisher =Save the Internet| accessdate =2008-03-27] Previous petitions garnered as many as 1.6 million signatures.
