I believe that there are a lot of fake comments(possibly threads) appearing on Hacker News. I'm sure on Reddit and everywhere on the Internet that influences peoples' oomph to stand up for something like Net Neutrality. I mean why in the world in 2017 are we so apathetic about something so important? We were up in arms about in 2013 and stopped SOPA then!!!

I'm not sure if you're claiming that my comment is fake, but I can assure you it's not. I'm also not apathetic as I've done everything possible including reminding everyone I know (yet again) to follow my steps in trying to stop this. If I do come off as apathetic, it's probably because I'm just worn down mentally and emotionally from the days/weeks I've spent investigating my situation only for it to lead to this. Y…

No not your comment. Other pro Net Neutrality comments and threads here.

The revocation of the Net Neutrality rules became a foregone conclusion once Donald Trump was elected. The sad reality is there's not much we, Eric Schneidermann or anyone else can do about it. There are 5 FCC commissioners but only 3 may be of the same party. Ajit Pai, Brendan Carr and Michael O'Rielly are locks to vote in favor, so it will pass, 3-2. At this point the best thing people can do is prepare to vote in…

You're rather convinced Trump belongs to big telecom...i'd suggest more skepticism and waiting and seeing.

How is "waiting and seeing" more reasonable than "assuming the worst" at this point?
