Awareness is probably the only motive behind the poll. Take
the example of the SOPA protests across the net sometime
back. A lot of people had no idea the government was set to
pass that bill. It would have gone under the radar, had
social media not stood up and commented on it.
We have a similar issue here. Do the millions of Android
users know that the answer to this seemingly trivial and
arcane question has the potential to impact them directly or
indirectly down the line? Are people aware of how they are
indirectly paying for all these litigations - one way or the
other? Quite possibly, not.
In the end, the poll is not about answers at all. Its just
about encouraging even more people to keep a watch on what
could hurt us in the future. By keeping this watch, the hope
is to make it difficult for corporations and other
institutions in power from taking away our freedom, bit by
bit, under our noses, without us realizing.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
