That's a very interesting question.

I suspect this incident demonstrates the scope of disinformation campaigns and the industry that enables them.

It is totally possible that cramming a couple million fake comments into the FCC was done solely for the purpose providing a politician a "talking point" in favor of getting rid of net neutrality.
