There is something profoundly ironic about someone saying that on what amounts to be an online digital mag. And is it really about "the public" at large seeing it - I have my doubts about that interpretation applied to UT.
+1 on that.

It’s the kind of explanation I find deeply satisfying because it gets at the unconscious desire that drives our relationship to these tools. Particularly fascinating, to me, is what social media says about our desires to both speak and write our identities in the spaces beyond our bodies. In the creation of a sphere in which we can publicize and externalize our thoughts, there is a profound something being said about our wanting to inscribe our words into a visible place and have the world see it.

It reads like a Globe and Mail Op-ed. Uncomfortable with the idea that citizens might be capable of dissecting a complex scandal without their mediation, and dismissive of the notion that our government could be co-opted by truly dark forces.
+1 on that.
