There was a huge turnout for a public hearing in Boston on the future of the internet, but when many citizens reached the door – they were turned away and left out in the cold. Why? Because the cable giant Comcast paid people like these to fill the seats, blocking out real citizens from the debate. They showed up 90 mins before the hearing began, and filled the room, with no Idea what the hearing was even about.
Honestly, I’m just getting paid to hold someones seat, I don’t even know what’s going on.
Meanwhile, over a hundred citizens who did have something to say were turned away by campus police because the room was full. Comcast later admitted to paying people to stack the room in their favour. Why are they trying to silence your voice? Because the Boston hearing is part of a larger investigation into Comcast’s blocking of internet traffic.
