Google, Facebook, eBay Launch US Web Lobby

World’s leading tech firms like Google, Facebook, eBay and Amazon have joined to create a new lobby group aimed at promoting "an open, innovative and free internet."

The Internet Association announced its formation in a statement on its website, indicating it will be headed by Michael Beckerman, a former congressional staffer.

The group, to be officially launched in September, did not name its member companies but sources familiar with the group said that Google, Facebook, eBay and Amazon are among them.

"The newly formed Internet Association is comprised of some of the world's most visible internet companies and will be headquartered in Washington," the statement said.

A Facebook spokesperson declined to comment on its participation.
