It's amazing what Occupy Movement linked with the popularity of social media has wrought. The speed at which information is exchanged bypassing corporate filters has been a game changer in the way the public worldwide responds to corporate and governmental malfeasance. People are making their opinions heard and changing policy almost immediately. A few examples:
Rush Limbaugh's Slutgate scandal. Scores of major advertisers dump Rush in less than a week. The entire right wing radio genre has become toxic.
Bank of America/Major Banks debit card fee scam thwarted.
Netflix splitting of services.
Transvaginal probing of women.
Wisconsin recall.
Ohio anti-union law repeal.
Not since "new Coke" has public opinion been this swift and effective. Social media has accelerated the spreading of news and response. The tipping point has been reached. People are started to realize that change is possible. This is a good thing. Let the ass kicking continue.
