This book provides an insightful and comprehensive look at the issues regarding the use of the Internet and social media by activists in more than 30 countriesand how many governments in these countries are trying to blunt these efforts to promote freedom.The innovators who created social media might never have imagined the possibility: that activists living in countries where oppressive conditions are the norm would use social media to call for changes to bring greater freedom, opportunity, and justice to the masses. The attributes of social media that make it so powerful for casual socializingthe ability to connect with nearly limitless numbers of likeminded individuals instantaneouslyenables political activists to recruit, communicate, and organize like never before.This book examines three aspects of the use of social media for political activism: the degrees of media freedom practiced in countries around the world; the methods by which governments attempt to block access to information; and the various ways in which activists use the mediaespecially social mediato advance their cause of greater freedoms. Readers will learn how these political uprisings came from the grassroots efforts of oppressed and unhappy citizens desperate to make better lives for themselves and others like themand how the digital age is allowing them to protest and call attention to their plights in unprecedented ways.
