I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who applauded this "virtual ceremony", even virtually. It reads like a stark exercise in navel-gazing. The most popular content on the site also tends to be navel-gazing, so maybe they thought it'd fit, or something. As far as it having anything to do with "liberty", no. Not any more than any other cheesy ad.
