My name is on a fake Net Neutrality comment, and yours might be, too

There's a lot of fake news out there, but at least you're not the one writing it, right? 

Not so fast. The Federal Communications Commission has received millions of comments concerning the potential repeal of Net Neutrality leading up to today's vote. Unfortunately, one million of those comments were written by bots, according to the New York Attorney General's Office. And many consumers have complained to the FCC that their names and addresses were on comments they didn't write. 

The comments are all publicly available on the FCC's website. My name is on one.
