The New York Times sues the FCC to investigate Russian interference in net neutrality decision
The ongoing saga over the FCC's handling of public comments to its net neutrality proposal continues after The New York Times sued the organization for withholding of information that it believes could prove there was Russian interference. The Times has filed multiple Freedom of Information Act requests for data on the comments since July 2017, and now, after reducing the scope of its requests significantly was rejected, it is taking the FCC to court in a bid to get the information. The FCC's comment system keeled over in May 2017 over during the public feedback period as more than 22 million comments were posted.
