AT&T isn’t just asking those people, however. The company sent out emails to employees asking them, their family and their friends to write in opposing the FCC. The goal would be to convince the FCC that people outside of executives of ISPs oppose Net Neutrality. The email, however, didn’t mention Net Neutrality outright, choosing to word it as the FCC regulating the Internet.
It can be said that the groups calling out AT&T for this practice also ask people to write to their congressional representatives, however those people are not employed by Free Press and Public Knowledge. Net Neutrality is something that many people (myself included) care a lot about, so it makes sense that a lot of letters will be sent supporting the FCC’s proposed rules. AT&T’s logic of trying to get more Americans writing in opposing the proposed rules is sound; this isn’t the way to do it, though. There doesn’t seem to be any way to get the word out otherwise, though. Running an ad campaign would just seem mean-spirited, or wouldn’t motivate anyone. Perhaps AT&T could try saying why it doesn’t want the rules to pass, and what it’ll do if they don’t pass.
