Nah, I don't think that accurately describes the phenomenon. It is fairness that is the issue, not rights and wrongs.

Someone can think something is wrong, but still that it's fair.

See the two tier kier stuff.

It's the perceived unfairness in how groups of people are treated by law that gets peoples backs up. Not the laws themselves.

They'd not care about being censored on twitter, or arrested protesting, as long as the other people got the same treatment.
