Giving the government hell is all well and good, but it is unlikely to cause much in the way of change. If businesses start to feel the pain on the other hand, then they have the incentive to challenge the government about the massive monetary losses they face because the government fucked up the internet. Both giving the government hell and boycotting compromised services are valid ways of fighting back.
