5. “Outraged Nigerians took to social media
with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls,
which swept around the world in more
than three million retweets. Even Michelle
Obama, America’s First Lady, posed
holding a placard with the hashtag...
But one year later, #BringBackOurGirls
hasn’t brought the girls home…. It’s a sad
illustration of the limitations of
“clicktivism”

- Facebook activism amplifies harmful underpinning of capitalism
Social media platforms transform social issues into cultural capital
- Ossues become labels of political alignment and lend an appearance of
social awareness attached to a digitally curated self. They become a
means to the end of social gain, rather than of social change
- the end-goal of this online “activism” is typically limited to raising
awareness. As valuable as it is to widen people’s understanding of the
world, no tangible change flows from awareness alone.
- Social media is fast, easy, cheap and, in one sense, democratic.
social media sites are profit

Social Media was a platform people could
use to share, discuss, and protest. A way
for their voices to be heard. For world
wide attention on these issues.
