- robin_reala 15y agoYou’re looking for the Open Rights Group ( http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ http://www.openrightsgroup.org/ )
- nodata 15y agoIn a similar vein: http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk http://www.liberty-human-rights.org.uk
- Chris_Newton 15y agoI'm not aware that Liberty have expressed a formal opinion on net neutrality or the various recent suggestions that Internet access should now be considered a fundamental human right, though if anyone has seen something relevant then I would be interested to read it. I suspect Liberty are more concerned right now with the various mass Internet snooping provisions that seem to keep cropping up. Net neutrality seems a little on the commercial side and perhaps a little below the radar of an organisation that is campaigning against things on the level of torture, detention without trial, freedom to protest peacefully, etc.
- nyodeneD 15y agoThere's also European Digital Rights: http://www.edri.org/ http://www.edri.org/
- Chris_Newton 15y agoIt's going to get noticed if you've got the BBC Trust, which is potentially a very influential organisation, pitching in. This article seems like exactly the kind of intelligent, rational contribution this debate needs.
