The Federal Communications Commission has obstinately hidden information concerning its system for gathering public input about its unpopular plan to kill net neutrality amid signs of Russian manipulation of the comment procedure, according to a New York Times lawsuit.

Freedom of Information Act requests by the newspaper concerning the comment system were turned down repeatedly by the FCC as the Times attempted to investigate possible influence by Russia after huge numbers of comments were linked to Russian emails.

Unbelievable. Apparently the NY Times is hot on this lead as well and is preparing a major story to break on this soon. I've never been clear as to why Trumpster wanted net neutrality so bad anyway. But now I'm wondering why the Russians may have wanted it also?

Make it easier for the propagandists to get through and harder for the opposition to do the same.

Exactly. Think about it this way. Eliminating net neutrality basically allows one to buy more access, so those with money benefit more.

Now, who would that be?
