After supposedly reversing course to assist New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's investigation into fake comments submitted during the net neutrality comment process, the Federal Communications Commission has doubled back on itself.

In a letter, obtained by Politico, sent to Schneiderman on Thursday, FCC general counsel Thomas Johnson said the comms agency must decline to help with the inquiry. He suggested revealing the IP addresses of commenters raised privacy concerns and posed a security risk to the FCC's comment system.
