I realize there may be some small sense of rebellion here with the users, but comparing it to the Boston tea party is a hilarious overstatement.

I’m not arguing against the point, only the difference in direct messaging and effort.

I’m not comparing it in terms of scale, but in terms of it being an act of political protest. In the way it has some correlations — the user base is metaphorically throwing their meta accounts into the Red Harbor.
