Electronic Frontiers Georgia
Electronic Frontiers Georgia (EFGA) is a non-profit organization in Georgia that raises public awareness of issues relating to Cyber law and free speech. It was founded in 1995 by Tom Cross, Robert Costner, Chris Farris, and Robbie Honerkamp, primarily in response to the Communications Decency Act.
One of the early causes which the organization championed, was to defeat Georgia House Bill 1630, an attempt to ban anonymous speech on the Internet in Georgia. Based on pressure from the EFGA, the ACLU, and the national Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), the bill was defeated. Non-profit organizations like EFGA are sponsored by the Free Internet Bandwidth for Non-Profit Programs where they are given Internet bandwidth for free. Programs like this offer generous opportunities to government, educational and not-for-profit organizations.
