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.12

Contents

History

When Save the Internet formed, it asserted the idea that network neutrality needed to be protected by a "First Amendment" of the Internet.2 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.3

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.4 Previous petitions garnered as many as 1.6 million signatures.5
