But thats because the civil rights movement had a bunch of humans intentionally amplifying the Rosa Parks story to accomplish a particular policy goal.
Today Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube have machine learning models trained to amplify the amount of attention spent on advertising. Any policy outcome will be a side-effect of that.

It's tangentially related to TFA but... The Civil Rights era leaders were very strategic thinkers. MLK, Jr., especially, shortly before his death, was describing very serious, very ruthless strategy to accomplish goals that I do believe would've worked, had they been given the opportunity.
I think that we have ruthlessly strategic thinkers (in our politics and political movements) today but I don't believe their goals are to drive policy any longer.
