Late last December, nearly 24 million comments (https://www.fcc.gov/ecfs/search/filings?proceedings_name=17-108&q=17%5C-108&sort=date_disseminated,DESC) poured into the FCC after the agency revealed its plans, spearheaded by its chairman Ajit Pai, to roll back net neutrality.*
The FCC’s rules, as they stand, require all comments from the public to be forwarded to the commissioners, and for the commissioners to take these comments into consideration when casting a vote on a new measure.
Well, it seems like the current FCC doesn’t want to bother having to read through all your comments anymore. At least, not without getting paid for it.
