CRITICAL ANALYSIS
The reliance on social media as a pressure mechanism assumes that public sentiment directly influences policy outcomes, which may overlook the complexities of political negotiation. Inference: This could lead to misinterpretations of public opinion's actual impact on decision-making processes, especially if key stakeholders are not adequately represented. The absence of specific metrics on public engagement raises questions about the validity of these assumptions.
