NFT: A 100,000 NY'ers may have had their identities misused

I posted this article in my thread on Net Neutrality from yesterday. But considering the fact that "tens of thousands of New Yorkers may have had their identities misused" , I think this is something that we all should be alerted to. The FCC is being investigated for using New Yorkers' identities to fabricate comments supporting the roll back of net neutrality laws. Yes, my thread title is different than what is quoted, but I couldn't fit it in as tens of thousands.

From the article:

Schneiderman's letter continues: "Specifically, for six months my office has been investigating who perpetrated a massive scheme to corrupt the FCC’s notice and comment process through the misuse of enormous numbers of real New Yorkers’ and other Americans’ identities.

"Such conduct likely violates state law& #8202;—& #8202;yet the FCC has refused multiple requests for crucial evidence in its sole possession that is vital to permit that law enforcement investigation to proceed."

Schneiderman wrote that his office found tens of thousands of New Yorkers may have had their identities "misused."
