Reasonableness of your demands do not change the fact that you only want other people to do what you want. Wanna make world a better place, do it yourself. I personally despise online slacktivism of any form: "oh, the world would be a so much better place if everyone did this one thing I just came up with."

I was not advocating for "online slacktivism", I was merely giving my opinion of what rules or laws ought to be introduced to the effect, akin to copyright laws or open-source licenses (it is not "online activism" to give correct attribution according to the terms of a license). Shouldn't we be able to have this debate, or do you think that this decision-making should be confined to policymakers?
Whats the difference between your behavior and theirs? You're both trying to influence other people's behaviors with words. How you seek to claim the moral high ground does not seem like an important discriminator.

The difference is I'm not saying what everyone should do, but rather expressing dislike for people who like to fantasize about ordering everyone around.
