FSF's May: Net Neutrality Comment Process 'Not a Vote'

Free State Foundation President Randolph May urged FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel to "change the messaging" on the commission's net neutrality proceeding (see 2310190020). Rosenworcel should "make clear that widespread public participation is encouraged ... while, at the same time emphasizing that the comment process is not a vote," May blogged Tuesday. May raised concerns about fake comments and mass submissions that say only whether a commenter was for or against net neutrality, adding there are "important economic, technical, social, and legal questions at issue that deserve thoughtful, well-supported substantive treatment."
