Apathy and inaction is the easiest thing, as it always has been. Those in power know this, and depend on it to perpetuate doing things the way they always have been. The distinction between who is in power and who is not has always been in the beholder. It's so little to ask, that those involved in "making a difference" and creating solutions in technology that "make the world a better place", take it upon themselves to do just that, and do all we can do to ensure that innovation and expression remain free and unencumbered by the momentum of the old guard. Instead of coming up with the next Airbnb, or the next über, what if we directed all our thought, concern and effort into collective advancement of our deeply held beliefs and visions for an open future.

I don't want to be a clickavist. I don't have the answers, but I hope we all take seriously, asking ourselves, what can we do?
