When they are used to justify policies that harm real people. That question is so silly I first thought it was rhetorical.
- ikeboy 9y agoDo you really think regulatory decisions are made based on which side gets more public comments? And that that is so obvious anyone who disagrees is silly?
- temp123123123 9y agoIt can certainly be used as an excuse, instead of having to come up with a separate reason to justify. Moreover, the precedent is set that this kind of thing isn't worth investigating.
- now_l93 9y agoRegulatory decisions are supposed to be made with public input. We're all aware that the agencies often ignore input. That doesn't mean it's ok to make fake input. The FCC will use these fake comments to create the illusion that the public has given them a mandate. That's unacceptable.
