Em tempo, trazendo isso do Instagram, acho impressionante a capacidade que as instituições políticas têm, hoje, de esvaziar completamente o sentido de sua comunicação; e como as redes são, alas, receptivas a essa idiotice.

Ótima reportagem, mas ao mesmo naturaliza que um sujeito tenha propriedade individual sobre a criação/comunicação coletiva de milhões de pessoas.
