There are many reasons for this. It's partly due to the illusion that the current internet culture has created that expressing one's voice on a social media platform is an effective form of protest. It is not. How many change.org petitions are people going to sign until they realize that it means absolutely nothing?
I think this one of the biggest and least-discussed erosions of public discourse and assembly. By fostering an online conversation at the expense of an in-person one, we wind up shouting into the abyss instead of at the people who deserve to feel the pressure.
