It all depends on our goals. If the intent is to get people to act, disrupting their life might just be the right thing to do. In this case I blame the Turkish government 100%, the publishers of the material 0%. The guy in question is actually shutting down opposition media in Turkey.
If we expect the dissidents to not use the best-connected channels available to them for fear of inconveniencing others, we are complicit in silencing them.

This is akin to calming a baby crying really hard for attention. I understand that you want to partake in a protest from really far away, but you must have better ways of doing so than hurting them.

I'm observing, not partaking. The Turkish state is doing the hurting, don't shift the blame.
