Under Ajit Pai's leadership, the FCC sabotaged its own public comment process

FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel called the claim of a DDoS attack “bogus.” The Democratic member of the commission added that “what happened instead is obvious — millions of Americans overwhelmed our online system because they wanted to tell us how important internet openness is to them and how distressed they were to see the FCC roll back their rights.”
Net neutrality advocacy group Fight for the Future was skeptical about Pai’s statement, saying the FCC failed in its responsibility to maintain a space for public opinion.
“Under Ajit Pai’s leadership, the FCC sabotaged its own public comment process,” Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight for the Future, said in a statement. “Pai attempts to blame his staff, but this happened on his watch, and he repeatedly obstructed attempts by lawmakers and the press to get answers.”
