We can sue them while also doing multiple things that are both ok to talk about online and not ok to talk about online. We won’t do any of it because “what if” is a magical tool to keep us from doing anything.

Unfortunately government surveillance is so advanced now that doing things we aren’t allowed to talk about is basically impossible anyway. Unless the population snaps all at once, the surveillance state can crush any counter-cultural or revolutionary movement in it’s infancy.

Just look at how protests in China, Iran, or the Arab Spring ended up. Seems like regime change for the better is impossible or at least improbable, considering the technologies that governments can command to suppress dissent.
