This is a fallacy - we all have to direct our time and resources as we see fit, and it is not feasible or reasonable to expect everyone with a keyboard to contribute in some way to the downfall of ISIS.

Besides, given that we live in the information age, the legal treatment of the software that controls our world is Kind Of A Big Deal.

There's always something worse happenning somewhere. That's not a reason not to care about things like this.

Additionally, if you dislike terror threats and completely broken democracy, you're going to not-love how they interact with opaque and treacherous software and online services in the future.

EDIT: never mind, I'm an idiot :)

You really think there's more people concerned over proprietary software than ISIS? It seems your gauging of public outrage is disproportionate to real levels of public outrage. In any event, it's a fallacy of relative privation.

Yet you just spent time writing a comment on the internet because someone wrote something you disagree with (which means, something bad happened).
