It's interesting that there is no more widespread resistence to the simple (and kneejerk) response of simply blocking access to social media when people start using it in unusual or subversive ways (I'm using the words 'unusual' and 'subversive' to try to characterize a type of use that really defies characterization, except, of course, for the fact that someone in authority wants to ban it). In one case, for example, a judge blocked a law banning private messages between students and teachers (can one imagibe the reaction to a similar law blocking phone calls, written notes, or personal conversations?). In another, the British government has backed away from plans to shut down Twitter and Facebook during 'crises' (by which they mean 'riots').
