In most of the controversies posted on HN they usually end up with a feeling that nothing would change, because only us, the tech community knows about details of an issue and we are too few to have an impact.

But this is solely affecting a product where we are the target audience, where if we oppose, thing should change. Now I wonder if it will show that we are actually caring that much to action or we are just as regular consumers as non-tech people in all other cases.
