The FCC will not disregard anti-Net Neutrality comments left by identity-stealing bots

No, I said:

many fakes can be identified by their origins in IP blocks from places like Vietnam and Russia and India

Bolded for emphasis – nothing about putting blocks in place. That sentence makes no grammatical sense for any definition of IP blocks other than the following:

Allocation

IP addresses are assigned to networks in different sized ‘blocks’. The size of the ‘block’ assigned is written after an oblique (/), which shows the number of IP addresses contained in that block. For example, if an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is assigned a “/16”, they receive around 64,000 IPv4 addresses. A “/26” network provides 64 IPv4 addresses. The lower the number after the oblique, the more addresses contained in that “block”.

An honest mistake on your part, but please read more carefully in the future. If you’re still confused by something (like a technical term you’re not familiar with), feel free to ask before imposing your own definition to support your own contention.
