5.3.3 Civil Society Promoting Global Connections Notes
Advocacy for International Cooperation and Human Rights
Imagine living in a world where your voice can reach millions in seconds.
This is the power of social media and the internet.
They have transformed how we promote international-mindedness and advocate for human rights and international cooperation.
Social Media and Activism
Platforms for Mobilizing Protests and Campaigns
Social media platforms like X (Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram have become powerful tools for activism.
They enable individuals and groups to:
Share Information: Spread news and updates quickly.
Mobilize Support: Organize protests and campaigns.
Amplify Voices: Give a platform to marginalized communities.
Tip
When analyzing social media's role in activism, consider both its strengths and limitations.
While it can amplify voices, it also faces challenges like censorship and misinformation.
Example
The internet and social media platforms played significant role during the Arab Spring - a series of anti-government protests and uprisings that swept across the Arab world starting in late 2010, calling for political reform and greater freedoms.
Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter played a crucial role in organizing protests, enabling activists to communicate, share information, and mobilize large groups quickly avoiding governmental control over traditional communication channels.
The internet facilitated the dissemination of real-time updates and images of the protests, attracting international attention and solidarity, which helped amplify the voices of those demanding change.
Internet Freedom Movements
Advocating for Free Access to Information and Expression
The internet is a critical tool for accessing information and expressing ideas.
However, this freedom is often threatened by:
Censorship: Governments blocking websites or social media platforms.
Surveillance: Monitoring of online activities to suppress dissent.
Internet Shutdowns: Cutting off access during protests or political unrest.
