But I found several that linked to a street with my last name, in a state where I had relatives before. One of them was an empty lot.

Complained to as many people as possible. I went to my senator's with my driver's license and showed them filings that I had also posted in support of net neutrality. I even sent every FCC commissioner an email about the fake comment.

made the same comment.

Before leaving office, the Obama Administration rammed through a massive scheme that gave the federal government broad regulatory control over the internet. That misguided policy decision is threatening innovation and hurting broadband investment in one of the largest and most important sectors of the U.S. economy. I support the Federal Communications Commission's decision to roll back Title II and allow for free market principles to guide our digital economy.
