kat8chaIt's events like this... that really should just rile up the world and piss us all off.
I can't suggest ways that it should be handled, but I do know it should be paid attention to.
As much as the age of print is dead, the cyber age gives people the ability to broadcast. And a million people broadcasting cannot be quieted up as being 'just a few dissidents'.
'I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.'

...and okay, the ending of that is greatly geeky and I'm going to go hide my face and pretend I didn't just say that. BUT IT'S TRUE. If Alderaan had twitter things would have been different!Lighthearted post to a very bad srs situation is so very me...
