I don't think they need to resort to clickbait articles.
Dmitry Sklyarov is the same guy that 20 years ago was arrested by the FBI for DMCA violations when visiting the US because he, despite being a Russian citizen working for a Russian company (there's no DMCA in Russia), wrote a software that circumvented Adobe e-books copy protection.
Had social media been around back then, #freedmitry would have been a trending hashtag like all similarly named sites that spawned shortly after the arrest.
