Social media and the Arab Spring
The role played by social media during the Arab Spring as a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests (both non-violent and violent), riots, and civil wars in the Arab world represents a highly controversial issue. The impact of social media on the events in the Middle East and North Africa as a factor of political uprising and turmoil is highly debatable and fostered both criticism and approval. Interestingly, protests took place both in states with a very high level of Internet usage (such as Bahrain with 88% of its population online in 2011) and in states with one of the lowest Internet penetration (Yemen and Libya).
==Acknowledgement of the role of social media during the Arab Spring==
According to some experts, social media played a significant role during the Arab Spring. From this perspective, the Arab Spring may refer to Twitter Revolution or Facebook Revolution as the use of modern technologies facilitated the communication and interaction between participants of political protests. According to the research made by the project on Information Technology and Political Islam, social media played a central role in shaping political debates in the Arab Spring, helped spread awareness about ongoing events all over the world, and, finally, online revolutionary conversations often preceded mass protests on the ground.
Overall, the influence of social media was critical for protesters to organize demonstrations (both pro- and anti-governmental), disseminate information about their activities, and raise awareness of ongoing events locally and globally. This impact was also crucial for governments to engage with citizens and encourage their participation in government processes, on the one hand, and to block access to websites and Internet, monitor traffic, on the other, according to “the Arab Social Media Report”, study conducted by the Dubai School of Government.〔 After analyzing various aspects of the impact of social media in the Arab region including the growth rate of Facebook and Twitter usage, internet traffic, and demographic changes over time the authors of the report came to a conclusion about a critical role of social media in “mobilization, empowerment, shaping opinions, and influencing change” during the Arab Spring.〔
