So many in the tech community support Net Neutrality, it's always shocked me that more people don't build bots to submit comments like the opposition do.
Surely the tech community could easily submit a few billion (trillion?) legit-looking comments in support of Net Neutrality that would a) completely cripple the servers or b) produce so much spam that it overwhelms anything useful and all comments are ignored....
Because so many comments would be instantly recognized as spam. The Anti-Net-Neutrality side would then use that as a narrative that all NN arguments are fake and draw even more stupid conclusions like "This is why we're right". They would spin it to play to their narrative.
The best way is to get as many real people as possible to make as much noise as possible.
Because it's ethically wrong and would backfire horribly. Think about the consequences for a minute.
(a) cripple the servers -- that's bad, then real people can't submit their real opinions and comments.
(b) overwhelm anything useful and all comments are ignored -- why would you want that?? The vast majority of real comments favor net neutrality, why would you want them to be ignored?
Of course, your arguments do make sense for the anti-NN companies who don't want real people's comments heard, which is probably why they did it.

why not?
