Last week e-mails obtained by Freedom of Information Attack revealed that Ajit Pai's FCC completely made up two different DDOS attacks in an attempt to downplay public opposition to the agency's net neutrality repeal. The fake DDOS attacks stemmed from periods when the FCC's website failed both times HBO Comedian John Oliver discussed net neutrality on his popular show (here's the first and second bits). Whereas the FCC website failed due to the volume of angry users trying to contact the FCC, the agency tried to claim these floods of outraged consumers were actually malicious attacks.
