[Super Suit 12]

Pai maintained his stance that the number of comments is not as important as the content of those comments.

this fills me with rage

Seriously, what is this meme?

hes a honor student, a serial killer, the suspect for thousands if not tens of thousands of crimes committed in the past 10 years

he is both a villain and a hero, a man who exemplifies the best and worst of society. he has killed good and bad people throughout his entire career, and everyone who lives today is alive only because he deemed us unimportant enough not to deserve the time it would take to murder us.

he is society's sword of damocles, we never know when and where he will strike, only that he will

It's a pretty obvious double standard when you consider that they think the 5 million anti-net neutrality comments that were posted by bots are "Indistinguishable" from real comments. Apparently comments generated by bots impersonating people > real comments posted using a template.

The real Karl Marx had love every day 5 times a day. I will not stand for imperialist revisionism.

karl marx was too busy playing 5d hyperdimensional quantum political chess to find the time to forget his harem

it wasn't posted by bots

it was already confirmed that people were posting these comments using a template just like the pro net neutrality people did, except the people against it were just doing it for 20 cents from a website like swagbucks.

No, a vast majority of them were actually bots using names and addresses stolen from leaked databases. A large number of people confirmed that there were comments in their names that they never made.

interesting
although none of it appears to have been taken from data breaches
rather taken from americas terrible anti privacy laws where companies are actually allowed to sell customer data. makes more sense too since you don't even get residents of other countries as well as younger people (18-22) are being affected by this rather frequently for just 1 company to be data breached if it was the case. the data also appears to use information dated at least by june of 2016, which is quite recent when you're trying to use as current information as possible.
this was all by skimming it. it's maliciously/illegally used information, but unfortunately it is public info (not legally here but still)

a huge amount still did post comments against the fcc for a few cents still.
