The site was then was quickly flooded with comment against net-neutrality. Almost all comments were identical in nature implying this was done spur of the moment (http://bgr.com/2017/05/11/fcc-net-neutrality-comments/). The content of the comment was the following.

Code:

“The unprecedented regulatory power the Obama Administration imposed on the internet is smothering innovation, damaging the American economy and obstructing job creation. I urge the Federal Communications Commission to end the bureaucratic regulatory overreach of the internet known as Title II and restore the bipartisan light-touch regulatory consensus that enabled the internet to flourish for more than 20 years. The plan currently under consideration at the FCC to repeal Obama's Title II power grab is a positive step forward and will help to promote a truly free and open internet for everyone.” Spammed Comment found on FCC’s website against net neutrality

Sources point to a lobbying group known as CFIF (Center for Individual Freedom) a conservative group, who was a strong financer and owner of www.stopnetregulation.org back in 2010 when Obama passes net neutrality as law(http://gizmodo.com/can-john-oliver-s-pro...1795095982). There is also suggestion that a lobbying group broadband for America also could be involved.
Gizmodo sent an email about the spam botting and received a reply claiming no responsibility. However, when looking at the CFIF’s letter to the FCC page it’s comment section matched the spammed comment.

What happened was far well too timed to be just a incident.
