Internet Activism
Internet activism refers to the use of online platforms and social media to promote social, political, or environmental causes. Activists leverage tools like websites, blogs, and social networks to raise awareness, mobilize supporters, and organize events. This form of activism allows individuals to connect and collaborate across geographical boundaries, making it easier to share information and resources.
One notable example of internet activism is the Arab Spring, where social media played a crucial role in organizing protests and spreading information about political unrest. Additionally, movements like Black Lives Matter and Me Too have gained momentum through online campaigns, highlighting issues of racial injustice and sexual harassment, respectively.
