Eric Schneiderman, New York's AG, began an investigation since a bunch of the fake comments used real people's information, so they had an 'identity theft' nexus to state laws -- but Pai refused to aid the investigation in any way: https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/21/16686644/eric-schneiderman-fcc-net-neutrality-spam-investigation-evidence https://www.theverge.com/2017/11/21/16686644/eric-schneiderm... That's the problem with electing people who don't believe in democracy or civil service, they have so many levers to use to dismantle things including just straight obstruction.

Worst of all, most people don't even care. I don't even recall orgs like Fight for the Future even trying to hold anyone accountable for this.
