The debate on net neutrality was going in full force last year around this time. John Oliver, the host of HBO’s “Last Week Tonight” had directed his audience in May 2017 to flood the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)’s website expressing their support for the net neutrality protections.

With millions of comments pouring in, the agency announced a few weeks later that its Electronic Comment Filing System (ECFS) had been a target of a massive distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack. This attack was later on used to ignore the entire public comment process. Since then the public, reporters, and the lawmakers have demanded the FCC and Ajit Pai to release evidence if the attack did indeed occur.
