Whoever is behind this should go to jail. Whoever is shielding them should go to jail.


I would bet the farm that it was hired out by several firms (probably overseas) and they paid some Indians, maybe Filipinos, to write comments all day long with a general script in mind.

The funding probably came from groups that fund lobbyists.

I don't know about this exact scenario, but injecting political opinions to social media in mass like described above is not technically illegal. I, unfortunately, know more about it than I would like.


in this case, it is illegal, because it is not social media but the FCC's official comment site, on which one must use a real american citizen's identity to post.

the crime in question is identity theft.
