Generating awareness online is a great thing, but it feels extremely thin without in-person demonstrations or active policy changes/enforcement. Though I do wonder if some of that increase is due to automated trading systems. For example, shares of Berkshire Hathaway go up when Anne Hathaway is in the news, partly for this reason.[1] But of course, increased visibility to the general public means increased visibility to the types of people who make recommendations within Bahrain's government.
Not really sure what the solution here is though. It's hard to know if a campaign will produce positive change before actually doing it. ~Griffin [1] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfQt6FWDi6c
