This announcement may be an intentional excuse to give Biden a new progressive thing to do domestically (it's not new information.) Maybe I'm just hopeful. The administration seems (to me) to be trying to convert/retain the left-of-Democrats audience who only reluctantly turned out for him. They're going to need it.

edit: I'd love a net neutrality bill or order, but I'd prefer net neutrality + prison time for those responsible for the fraud.

If I understand this article correctly, the information is not new, but the report is following an investigation which has been on-going since the initial FCC comments began.

However I don't see the report linked anywhere in the article, but I do see sporadic statements from the NY A.G. which were made 5/6/2021.

If these were criminal actions created by the previous FCC chair, e.g. using a citizen's name to submit a false comment, the actors at the FCC and at "Broadband for America" should to be held accountable.

This seems exactly like the kind of pain-free win that the Biden admin has been pulling lately for the base. I suspect coordination, but at this point it's just wishful thinking.

Especially at this particular time: good luck trying to incite an anti-NN right-wing response right now when the primary rhetoric among the right currently is about internet censorship.
