After removing all duplicate and fake comments filed with the Federal Communications Commission last year, a Stanford researcher has found that 99.7 percent[pdf] of public comments—about 800,000 in all—were pro-net neutrality.
"With the fog of fraud and spam lifted from the comment corpus, lawmakers and their staff, journalists, interested citizens and policymakers can use these reports to better understand what Americans actually said about the repeal of net neutrality protections and why 800,000 Americans went further than just signing a petition for a redress of grievances by actually putting their concerns in their own words," Ryan Singel, a media and strategy fellow at Stanford University, wrote in a blog post Monday.

What's your point? It doesn't matter that those laws were on the books?
It's still a fact that
women have a protected right to vote.
men are allowed the privilege to vote in return for agreeing to military service.
That's what the law implies.
And, you know what? Voting should be a privilege; you shouldn't get to vote on whether we go to war if you're not subject to the draft. And, you shouldn't get to vote on welfare if you're a recipient of welfare—you don't get the privilege to vote if you're not paying for the government!
That's why Capitalism is superior: You vote when you allocate your own resources, and the weight of your vote is a privilege granted by the amount of societal resources that you've acquired through voluntary trade.
