Recently, lawmakers on Capitol Hill started getting flooded with mysterious tweets using the hashtags #netneutlawnow and #No2CRA. We investigated these tweets and discovered that they are part of paid advertising campaigns associated with “think tanks” that receive significant funding from telecom companies like AT&T, Comcast, and Verizon. The tweets claim to be in support of net neutrality, but are opposed to the Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution -- supported by the entire net neutrality movement -- that would restore the FCC’s open Internet rules that were repealed on December 14.
