Don't Be Evil

WASHINGTON – Free Press, MoveOn.org Civic Action, CREDO Action, the Progressive Campaign Change Committee and ColorofChange.org today delivered petitions on behalf of more than 300,000 people challenging Google to stand by its “don’t be evil” motto and to call off a deal with Verizon that would jeopardize the future of the open Internet.

“It shouldn’t be left to the whims of two companies to decide for the rest of us how the Internet works,” said Josh Silver, president of Free Press. “We’ve seen the disasters that can happen when industry giants are left to regulate themselves. Unless we want to see the Internet go the way of the Gulf of Mexico and AIG, our leaders in Washington need to reject the Google-Verizon deal and get back to making policies that truly protect Internet users and the open Internet.”
