This book examines the increased utilization of social media in daily life and its impact on social movements.

The contributors to this collection-academics, researchers, and activists-implement diverse methodological approaches, both descriptive and quantitative, to cut across various disciplines, including communication and media studies, cultural studies, politics, sociology, and education.
