Symbolism is a very important aspect of public protest and the consequential reporting on and influence of it.

Actually, I don’t think I get the point of this whole thing at all. They’re not rallying against climate change or fascism, it’s just “phone bad”.

I didn't read the article in full, but it was pretty clear to me right away from the top. They're saying: We as a society should prioritize real human connection over consuming big tech platforms.
