Want a real conspiracy?

This is old news...but nonetheless disturbing. I thought y'all could use a break from these fake-ass conspiracies some of you have been peddling, and take a look at some real shady $#@!.

Fake comments showed up on the FCC's website supporting the rollback of 'Net Neutrality,' and whoever posted them was stealing identities from real people to do it.

I searched for my name, and luckily it didn't show up...but two of my family members' identities were used to show phony support for the rollback.

(You can search for your name here: https://ag.ny.gov/fakecomments
The NY AG is/was investigating this, and they have a search option to see if your identity was used. If it was, you can report it.)

One of my cousins, who is in the air force, had his identity hijacked for this. They even used his military address.

So, check your name, friends names, family names, and see what you find.

Then let's talk about who could be behind this.

Let's hope the buffoons in Congress will step away from the alcohols long enough to kill this bad idea.

What bad idea?

I don't know about any conspiracy, but net neutrality seems to be one of the most misunderstood issues around.

It seems many have been duped into thinking it's repeal would be a positive thing. I think it's a combination of ignorance and partisan politics.

ok, ok....BUT WHAT ABOUT WHAT THE FAKE MESSAGES AND POSTS USING PEOPLE'S IDENTITIES?

Have you checked your name yet?

Right, because leftist loons always know what's best for everyone.

The repeal of net neutrality only suits the interests of big cable companies and the like. It allows the internet to be hijacked by business.

Care to contribute something substantive? This isn't even about NN, it's about the fake support messages on the FCC website using people's stolen identities. Maybe yours. Have you checked? I gave you a link and everything.

Liberal lunacy!

Well, this has turned out to be a useless thread so far...
