NY resident here. Thank you very much for your work. I'm proud to have you as our State AG.
In your view, do the fake comments delegitimize FCC's rule-making process, if the FCC does not delay the vote until after the investigation is over? And can the FCC's Net Neutrality decision (regardless of whether or not they vote to repeal NN) be challenged in the court, on the grounds that the integrity of its rule-making process has been seriously compromised?
Thanks!
Would you mind commenting on these findings? They seem to have found that both sides have been stuffing the ballot box: http://www.emprata.com/reports/fcc-restoring-internet-freedo... Also, can you work on net neutrality for all bits? That is Google, Facebook, Twitter, as the main gateways to public discourse treat all comments equally without promoting one viewpoint over another that does not enjoy elite sanction? W…
both paragraphs are whataboutism. The first talks about comment content which the AG did not reference. The second talks about an entirely irrelevant issue and tries to shift the definition of a term to something broader that clouds discussion.
The other more importantly is concerned with guaranteeing a triumvirate of gatekeepers doesn't guide discourse in one direction or the other.
I would like to be able to convey specific actions I want to see from my representatives, but I currently only feel comfortable asking "please do something!"
Are we to demand that they require the FCC delay the vote until your investigation has concluded? Do they have that authority?
I was under the impression that the telecom lobby was using the FCC as an end run around congress. What does a delay gain for us if those involved in the vote are beholden to lobbies, not citizens?
Thank you for taking the time to come here today, and for your involvement.
If one discovers one's name has been used in fake comments, what can/should one do about it?
Which, if any, laws did the creators of these accounts break by posting these comments to the FCC under other people's identities?
How do these comments harm real people? Definitely seems shady but I don't really see how using fake names actually hurt anyone.
When they are used to justify policies that harm real people. That question is so silly I first thought it was rhetorical.
Do you personally believe that this was enabled either passively or actively by the FCC to cloud the public discourse surrounding the net neutrality vote?
What actions can state and local governments take to support net neutrality? Is New York going to consider revoking cable franchise agreements for companies that do not support net neutrality, or require it (maybe nationwide?) for bidders on franchise agreements?
