Digital Protest
Digital protest refers to the use of online platforms and social media to express dissent or advocate for social change. Activists leverage tools like hashtags, online petitions, and viral campaigns to raise awareness about issues such as climate change, human rights, and racial justice. This form of protest allows individuals to mobilize quickly and reach a global audience.
Through digital protest, people can share information, organize events, and connect with like-minded individuals without the constraints of physical gatherings. Notable examples include the use of the hashtag BlackLivesMatter to address police violence and the #MeToo movement, which highlights sexual harassment and assault.
