Exactly.  It could really backfire, because the p.r. damage of the
protests is a large part of what they are looking to avoid.  If you
protest them anyway, they have much less of an incentive to yield on
anything.  And a second protest will not get much, if any, press.  This
is a one-shot deal.  It'll only be news the first time it happens.
That time should really count.
