The FCC Just Mysteriously Lost Almost 800,000 Net Neutrality Comments...

http://crooksandliars.com/2014/12/fcc-just-mysteriously-lost-almost-800000?utm_source=Crooks+and+Liars+Daily+Newsletter&utm_campaign=b45670a129-RSS_EMAIL_CAMPAIGN&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_d4904be7bc-b45670a129-326546605

How serious is the FCC about Net Neutrality? According to new analysis of the data the FCC recently released on the public commenting process, about 340,000 lost and/or ignored public comments serious.

A pro-net neutrality group, Fight for the Future, announced a major discrepancy in the number of comments that it helped to submit. The group managed to drive 777,364 commenters to post on the FCC's commenting forum, with CTO Jeff Lyon noting that "at least 244,811 [comments]" missing from that number, based off numbers recently released by the FCC. As if that weren't enough, a new Sunlight Foundation study found that 95,000 comments that were released by the FCC were duplicates.

My sceptic gene has grown in proportion to this kind of incident.

anywayz. It's part of the fake democratic process. You are free to send in your comments. Kinda like voting between corporatist thing 1 vs. corporatist thing 2. At least you get to vote.
