Net neutrality is a simple concept but a dense and often technical issue normally discussed in tech and telecom circles. Now it's hit the mainstream.



Next week, the Federal Communications Commission plans to vote on gutting Obama-era rules meant to stop broadband companies such as Comcast, AT&T and Verizon from exercising more control over what people watch and see on the internet.

In fact, it's *so* mainstream that last week I received incoherent but grammatical English-language spam from a Russian anti-semitic hate group about it.

No, I'm not joking.

I haven't managed to figure out who investigates such things, and don't want to leave a long data trail looking into it myself, but if anyone can suggest an appropriate organization, I kept a copy of the spam. (Don't bother suggesting ADL or SPLC; I already checked there.)
