FCC refuses to release text of more than 40,000 net neutrality complaints

Let's see if I understand this.

The executive branch's "Fraudulent Election Commission" (that's what I call it) can release the names, addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of people who complained about private voter information being made public, but the FCC, also an executive branch organization, can't release any complaints about the destruction of Net Neutrality.

Really?

Excerpt:

"The Federal Communications Commission has denied a request to extend the deadline for filing public comments on its plan to overturn net neutrality rules, and the FCC is refusing to release the text of more than 40,000 net neutrality complaints that it has received since June 2015."

It was created by and answers to Congress (although the President is empowered to appoint commission members
with the Senate's approval and designates the FCC Chairperson).
