Free Press (organization)

Free Press is a progressive lobbying group that advocates for increased government oversight of Internet Service Providers. The organization is a major supporter of net neutrality.〔
Free Press was co-founded in 2003 by Robert W. McChesney, John Nichols, and Josh Silver. Craig Aaron is Free Press' current president and CEO, and Kimberly Longey is the COO. Its board chair is Ben Scott.
The group has an annual budget of over $5 million. The group has over 900,000 active members〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Free Press' Craig Aaron on Net Neutrality )〕 and past donors have include George Soros and Barbra Streisand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.freepress.net/about_us )

Free Press opposes media mergers that create monopolies. Free Press opposed the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger and hailed Comcast's decision to drop its merger bid in the face of increased government scrutiny. Free Press President and CEO Craig Aaron "credited the government regulators 'who have listened to the public and are seriously working to increase competition and lower the costs of access.'" 〔CNN "Comcast Says It's Over: It Won't Try to Merge With Time Warner Cable" 〕 In 2011, Free Press pushed AT&T to abandon its bid to take over T-Mobile.
Free Press helped push the FCC to reclassify Internet service providers under Title II of the Communications Act. The FCC passed strong Title II-based Net Neutrality rules on February 26, 2015.
Free Press has been a consistent and vocal opponent of Congressional action that threatens to censor internet content under the guise of copyright protection. The organization helped to defeat the 2011 Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and has opposed subsequent iterations of the bill, including CIPA in 2013, and CISA in 2015.
Free Press organizes the National Conference for Media Reform.
