---With the Federal Communication Commission's net neutrality rules for internet service providers set to be voted on, and likely reversed next month, critics have slammed the agency's public commenting process as having been "corrupted" and flooded with more than one million comments that were likely automated by bots and largely in favor of rolling back net neutrality rules.
Consumers have written letters to the FCC and claimed that their names, or addresses were used in comments that they had not written, and some were even listed as having come from people that are deceased, according to the Washington Post.
The public commenting process is in accordance with a law that requires federal agencies accept public comments on proposed rule changes. The FCC intends to repeal the Obama-era net neutrality rules in a meeting on December 14, which critics say will create an unequal internet that favors major telecom companies and provides them with the ability to charge consumers more for certain services.---
