ICT can be used as a platform to bring about social and cultural change by mobilizing populations. It can also be used as a medium for advocacy by supporting causes and proposals. Throughout recent history in the Philippines, ICT has enabled campaigns for social change that may not have been successful otherwise. ICT serves as a tool for development communication by facilitating the transformation of countries from poverty to economic growth and greater social equality. The ability to coordinate massive and rapid responses through ICT can force politicians to change directions on issues. Social media encourages knowledge sharing and communication through virtual communities and networks. Digital citizenship involves following netiquette rules of respecting others and displaying courtesy online.
