CAUGHT? Comcast Appears to Be Filing Anti-Net Neutrality Petitions In Their Customers’ Names to the FCC

500,000 COMBATS NAMES AND ADDRESSES FED TO BOTNET POSTING ANTI-NET NEUTRALITY COMMENTS TO FEDERAL WEBSITE

THEY’RE USING THEIR OWN CUSTOMER’S INFORMATION TO KILL NET NEUTRALITY

IS YOUR NAME ON THE LIST?”

A Twitter user named Benn Jordan (@bennjordan) tweeted out:

“Loving this new @XFINITY feature where @comcast files anti-net neutrality comments to the FCC using your name and last service address.”

The following is an excerpt from the aforementioned website describing what exactly is happening:

The FCC recently set up a “Notice of Proposed Rulemaking” (NPRM) to solicit public comments on their plan to end net neutrality rules. To file a comment in the NPRM, people have to submit their name and address to a public docket. But, since the comment period began, almost half a million identical and perfectly formatted comments have been submitted to the docket, sometimes even in alphabetical order, in what looks like an automated “cut and copy” fashion, using the names and addresses of people from hijacked lists. People’s names and addresses are being publicly listed alongside a political message, without their permission. The comment text is associated with a non-public petition by a relatively unknown group. Journalists and Internet users are helping to identify dozens of people who did not knowingly sign the petition.
