The site, in 1996
The website of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the San Francisco digital-rights group, and home of its Blue Ribbon campaign for free speech online.
John Gilmore, John Perry Barlow and Mitch Kapor founded EFF in 1990. After the Communications Decency Act passed on 1 February 1996, EFF asked site owners to post a blue ribbon linking to its campaign; the Supreme Court struck the act down in 1997.
In 1996: Launched the Blue Ribbon campaign against the Communications Decency Act; on 8 February thousands of other sites turned their pages black in a parallel protest.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
