> the comments in favor of net neutrality were change.org caliber spam for the most part, and so the FCC had every reasonable right to ignore them. Just to be clear, it sounds like here you are talking about the comments other than the one discussed in the article? You are saying that the responses in favour of net neutrality (the ones which were proposing to keep the bylaws) were also astroturfed? Or are you saying that they were somehow low in quality in your opinion but still coming from real humans? How do you know this?

You can read all the comments here: https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?proceedings_name=17-108 https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/search-filings/results?proce... People just treated it like an anonymous opt-in opinion poll, and the results are pretty much what you'd expect. Some copy paste, a vast amount of low content stuff, and then some very low content stuff.
