As much as I don't want to defend the role of the government in this mess, twitter has done a terrible job in the optics dept. They have chosen to ignore steps like appointing people for certain mandatory roles, blocking the handle of the minister responsible for the new law and so on.
It is almost like they wanted this to be a public fight. Is that a good strategy? Fighting the govt is rarely productive, but they probably know something to do this crazy in-your-face stuff.
