RE: Politics in the Age of Social Media

Before the advent of social media, the conventional media was the only means of being informed about politics. Despite the fact that people gathered in newspaper joints to discuss politics, the discussion was a one way traffic. People's agitation and opinion had no effective way of reaching and affecting those in power.

But social media changed the module of communication when it comes to politics. It offered platforms that serve as mutual ground for anyone regardless of our race to have effective discussion about politics. And also rally support and take action against our government when needed.

That is why the lack of censorship of social media is a source of concern for most country, knowing how easily it could be used to drag any politician or government official.
