[QUOTE="cheryl, post: 2863660, member: 1"] [URL='https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/26/fcc-net-neutrality-open-internet'][B]'Pretty ridiculous': thousands of names stolen to attack net neutrality rules - The Guardian[/B][/URL] [LIST] [*]Letter says 450,000 comments may have been spam from net neutrality enemies [*]New FCC head wants to roll back Obama-era rules that govern open internet [/LIST] Last Tuesday, Joel Mullaney, a software engineer from Watertwin, Massachusetts, was browsing Reddit when he spotted a thread about people whose names and postal addresses had been falsely used to post comments on a government website attacking Obama-era open internet regulation. Mullaney, 43, popped his address into the search bar on the Federal Communications Commission’s website and found his name attached to a comment that started: “The unprecedented regulatory power the Obama administration imposed on the internet is smothering innovation, damaging the American economy and obstructing job creation.” “It was pretty ridiculous,” said Mullaney. “That’s pretty much the exact opposite of what I think.” [/QUOTE]
