John Oliver, FCC, and Hackers
3What happens when you resort to he-said-she-said? Hilarity.
When FCC Spokeswoman Kim Heart was quoted by Vice.com's Sam Guston as having blamed the crash of the commenting system of the FCC on Hackers, or Unknown Digital Assailants, many were skeptical.
Thankfully someone at the FCC decided that blaming the crash on people whose goal is to have that comment system working, was a bit too much for anyone to believe, and refined their stance.
Officailly, the Internet is a beautiful place, where people can mobilize for a cause quickly enough to overcome 17 year old server architecture.
Thank goodness for some reason being shown at the FCC. I was about to breakout my Tin-Foil hat.
