Well perhaps they saw what happened to the likes of Aaron Swartz and decided it wasn't a hill they wanted to *actually* die on. Young people don't need to act, people need to act, and they are. More and more people are simply withdrawing from digital society (and society as a whole) due to overbearing control mechanisms like this. We can see it in the subtexts of almost all current issues impacting society being reported on -- mental health crisis, increases in suicide and drug usage, refusing to work, the breaking down of interpersonal relationships. People are revolting, they're just not doing it in the normal way and I sympathize with them.
