The Humanist Report - Dead People's Names Used to File Phony Anti-Net Neutrality Complaints to FCC

Published on Jun 7, 2017

Since the FCC voted to roll back Title II net neutrality regulations, they’ve received nearly 3 million comments in support of the current net neutrality rules. However, thousands of phony anti-net neutrality complaints are being submitted to the FCC—using industry talking points—under the identities of celebrities, ordinary citizens, and even dead people.
