What is the Blue Ribbon campaign?

The

Blue Ribbon campaign was organized by Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) in order to protect blogger rights on the Internet. The Foundation is a non -profit organization financed by a donor, which started in 1990 to protect free manifestations, privacy and consumers' rights on the Internet. EFF activities include public education, political activism and extensive litigation. They should be able to blog about their views on political elections or in the workplace without fear of persecution. According to the Blue Ribbon campaign, freedom of expression is a vital part of life in a democratic society.

Because blogging is a method of communication that supports interaction, Blue Ribbon campaign supporters believe that bloggers must be protected for responsibility for third -party comments that remained on their blogs. Eff feels that Federal Immunity for online publishers must also apply to bloggers. Since bloggers are often strong activists for controversial crossingIny, the Blue Ribbon campaign claims to have the right to be protected from frivolous threats and court buckles.

According to the Blue Ribbon campaign, bloggers have the same rights as members of the main press. They should be able to visit press conferences and other media events. In addition, they should be able to protect confidential resources. The Blue Ribbon campaign believes that blogger, even if they are not paid for their writing activities, basically act as citizen journalists.

Blue Ribbon campaign fans often show blue ribbons on their website as a way to express their liability of freedom of expression online. As a non -profit organization, EFF relies strongly to support private individuals who have committed themselves to protect freedom of expression on the Internet. In fact, more than 60% of the money used to finance the Blue Ribbon campaign and other EFF activities come from donations and membership fees.
