Did social media like Facebook and Twitter cause the revolution? No. But these tools did speed up the process by helping to organize the revolutionaries, transmit their message...

    This article focuses on social media and revolutions, particularly in Egypt, and how women played a part in these revolutions through the platform of media. One interesting perspective that this article offered, was how women were viewed in media both before and after the revolution.

      This article gives an overview of what is currently going on in Ukraine. It talks about how social media is being used in the area. Russia swears that it isn't getting involved in the conflict, but on one of Russia's government Facebook pages, soldiers have been posting things on social media that are geotagged inside of Ukraine. People are now suspicious that they are fighting alongside local military.
