Surveys are dumb.The 18 million fake comments the FCC received did not solely oppose net neutrality. The 19-year-old college student cited in the report submitted 7.7 million comments in favor of net neutrality. "The FCC had few safeguards in place to detect or prevent millions of submissions from a single source," the report reads. "The OAG also identified another group of 1.6 million pro-neutrality comments that were submitted using fictitious identities, but has not determined the source of these comments."
