The Chair of the FTC used the number of comments against Net Neutrality as "proof" that people did not want Net Neutrality. He then refused to investigate the obvious forgeries.
If I can still keep doing all these cool things, why the need for repealing the Obama-era regulations (his words) in the first place?
Elections matter.
For the record, I support the goal of NN, I just am too cynical to believe that these comments ever mattered.
Obviously, one that just says “** you Ajit” or whatever doesn’t need to be considered, but ones voicing concerns or similar have to be.
I agree that Ajit made the wrong decision, I just facepalm when I see people raising this as an argument as to why when there are so many better arguments than whether someone spammed an insecure comment box.
