A slap on the wrist for data harvesters who faked millions of net neutrality comments.
Ads, surveys, a data breach: all were used to turn unsuspecting people into fake net neutrality comments. This report (pdf) from the NY Attorney General’s office details some shady shit; firms even cheated their own subcontractors.
