To me, the most amusing aspect of modern times is the belief that shedding tears on social media can actually bring about change. It’s as if politicians are eagerly monitoring posts by random individuals, such as “CyberButtFanatic87” on Twitter, for insights into issues like pipeline explosions and energy production.

Nevertheless, I suppose it’s a positive development that most of the meaningless noise, including ineffective change.org petitions, disappears into obscurity without much notice. But I hope that the EDRi will actually change something. Maybe.
