disambiguating[edit]

This category was rather a mess, with a mish-mash of organizations and campaigns that relate to the Internet or cyber-liberties, mixed in with a large number of organizations that have had a website or used the Internet for organizing. I separated them into two sub-cats: Category:Internet-related activism (for the former) and Category:Internet-based activism (for the latter). More work needs to be done.
- The Internet-based activism category is really a mess, since all sorts of organizations that simply have a website are listed, and probably ought not to be.
- Internet-based activism might also fruitfully be subdivided into (a) blogger-based journalism campaigns that brought to light various atrocities or incidents; (b) Internet-awareness campaigns; (c) crowd-funding; (d) developers of software tools, platforms, infrastructure for advocacy/nonprofit organizations; ... others?
- Internet-related activism probably should be divided by subject, including (a) Organizations advocating for Internet access; (b) Organizations providing Internet access; (c) Organizations advocating for civil liberties on the Internet, e.g., privacy, speech; (d) Organizations advocating around various aspects of Internet governance, like net neutrality; domain name regulation; etc.

But I don't have time right now! So if someone else wants to pick up the torch and run with it, have at it; these notes will get you (or eventually, me) started. --Lquilter (talk) 20:45, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
