Spammers are usurping the FCC filing comments for net neutrality, and here's how you can tell.

I just popped my head into the comments for the net neutrality finding to see what people had to say, and I am disgusted to see a pattern.

To find the filing, head to: http://ift.tt/2pRC7yG , then click on "17-108" on the left of the list to look at the list of comments.

What I am seeing is that bots are spamming the comments with fictitious and potentially illegal comments. How can I tell?

1. The names are sequential, and this pattern is likely to change once someone discovers this. Sequential as in the last name increases alphabetically as you go through the submissions.
2. They say the exact same thing every single time.
3. The posts are one after the other done in batches.
4. This pattern is improbable and inhuman, especially at this scale.

Just take a look:

• Content of what each of them say: http://ift.tt/2q28Y4B

As far as I'm concerned this is usurping the democratic processes within the USA. I am not a lawyer, but I really doubt this is legal. And this most certainly is not serving the people.

Do your part, spread this word, don't let this fall under the rug. Fight for your internet, don't let cheaters prosper.
