Senators to FCC: Investigate phony net neutrality comments

The Federal Communications Commission shouldn't vote on whether to end net neutrality just yet, a group of 28 senators said in a letter sent Monday. It needs to first investigate claims that hundreds of thousands -- and perhaps millions -- of public comments on the controversial policy change appear to have been made by bots posing as regular people, they wrote.
"Without additional information about the alleged anomalies surrounding the public record, the FCC cannot conduct a thorough and fair evaluation of the public's views on this topic," the senators, lead by New Hampshire Senator Maggie Hassan, wrote.
