NY AG Investigating 'Massive Scheme' To Influence FCC On Net Neutrality With Fake Public Comments [telecom]

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) says he has uncovered a "massive scheme" to influence the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in favor of repealing former President Obama's net neutrality rules by corrupting the agency's public comment system with hundreds of thousands of fake comments impersonating real Americans.

In an open letter to Trump's FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, Schneiderman said the federal agency has not provided him with information "critical" to an investigation his office is conducting. The letter follows Pai's announcement on Tuesday that the FCC will vote to roll back Obama-era net neutrality rules that require internet service providers to treat all web traffic equally.
