With the advent of the internet, even the smallest minority has been given a voice. This has done great things for spreading information and ideas (e.g. Arab Spring), but it has also given a platform for spreading bias and hate as well. I'm not talking about name calling or childish acts, but threats of violence and damaging behavior.
This increased noise is easy to ignore until you become the focus of it, which is why private website owners are taking steps to protect individuals from harm over allowing a blank check for freedom of speech.
If anything - it revelaed very clearly the force of power and corruption that governments have -- just like OWS in the US.
Man, OWS was a truly eye-opening event that really showed the power of the Oligarchy (The Fed) in the US.
So, while not much change actually happened from wither the Arab Spring or the OWS movements -- at least we know now where the common man stands. That information will really gel over time in the minds of all men and I think changes the world-view of most people in such a way that people now know what institutions are against humanity.
