SavetheInternet.com Wins the ‘Oscars of the Internet’
SavetheInternet.com was awarded “Best Activism Web Site” and Save the Internet: Independence Day, a YouTube favorite, won for “Best Public Service Video”. Both awards fell under the “People’s Voice” category, where winners were determined by hundreds of thousands of votes from all over the world. In and interesting twist of fate, the People’s Voice vote is sponsored entirely by phone giant Verizon Communications — the same company that is leading the charge to kill off Net Neutrality and pick and choose which content gets priority on your browser. In accepting the awards we plan to deliver some choice words — five to be exact — to the People’s Voice sponsors, in addition to thanking the millions of activists who took action — online and off — and made SavetheInternet.com the successful grassroots effort it is today. Hailed as the “Oscars of the Internet” by the New York Times, the Webby Awards will be handed to SavetheInternet.com during ceremonies in New York City on June 4 and 5.
