I think Mike's comment doesn't distract from your original point
but rather he used it to jump laterally to another important point
in all this. Any discussion of the use of the internet, and its
platforms, as a means of protest or memetic transportation medium
will increasingly bring the question concerning if that medium is
actually something the commons can trust. Certainly the social
contract of what that medium is, its narrative, is somewhat mostly
still intact but the last year has brought out the prophets asking
us to take a closer look at the push requests on
github.com/siliconvalley/messiah/ before we open the golden gate
and pull out palm branches.
