The government is listening to its people to find out when they disagree with it? It's almost like they're a democracy!

Folks, this is GOOD news. I know it's fashionable to complain about squashed civil liberties, but seriously, I'd be a lot more concerned if the government weren't making efforts to discover public sentiment against it from social media.
