This presentation illustrates the the historical evolution of the media media strategy of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) in Egypt. It then summarizes the results of a content analysis of the official English websites of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) and its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party (FJP), over the week leading up to the Egyptian constitutional referendum of 15th December 2012. We show to which degree different communication functions that are central to social movements and political parties were present on the websites.
Furthermore we summarize an analyse of collective action frames employed in the provision of information on these
sites.

Social Media and Politics
Learning objectives
Learning objectives include an understanding of the following:
· The role of social media in democracy
· The role of social media in advancing political reforms
· How social media create polarization
Introduction
Social Media are now a central component of democracy. The media are increasingly associated with political organizing, elections campaigns, accountability, and generally a more engaged citizenry. Social media are a dominant platform through which everyday citizens can share, organize, and communicate their ideas. People regularly use the media to acquire information about leaders and public policy related areas like the environment, education, health and so on. Many public offices now have websites that include social media functions in their communication with the public. Collectively, social media provide a public sphere where individuals can interact with likeminded people on political issues and provide criticism and support for leaders. However, while social media platforms make many issues accessible to increasingly large groups, the media have the potential to create polarization. Specifically, many blogs are quite subjective while some forms of media promote hatred and intolerance. Additionally, it is also difficult to examine the extent to which social media really alters public opinion as more research is needed. Lastly, questions remain on how much time users are prepared to devote their time on the social media for political problems.
Social Media and Elections
Popular social networks have transformed the use of the internet as a political tool for democratic transitions. Barack Obama’s historic in 2008 win was attributed to a new media strategy inspired by popular networks such as MySpace and Facebook. The campaign’s website My.BarackObama.com, allows supporters to join local groups, create events, sign up for updates and set up personal fund-raising pages. The campaign was spearheaded by Chris Hughes, a co-founder of Facebook. The social networks helped Obama raise more than two million donations of less than $200 each (Stelter, 2008). This success was based on huge investments on social media. The campaign spent $3 million on online advertising that targeted potential voters and online tools providing details of voting locations (Stelter, 2008).
Similarly, social media was extensively used in Canada’s 2011 elections. The elections were dubbed the “social media elections” or “election 2.0.” Harris (2011) observed that the social media served as “a one-stop shopping for parodies, speech remixes, gotcha moments, unconventional ads, and attacks so fiery, they risk scorching your computer monitor.” Two "vote mob" videos simultaneously held spots in the Top 10 on YouTube. A satirical video juxtaposing a Harper speech with an address by Star Wars' evil Emperor Palpatine drew more than 114,000. The University of Guelph's "vote mob" videos were viewed more than 33,000 .

The Empire Strikes Back:
Social Media Uprisings and
the Future of Cyber Activism
by Ramtin Amin
ramtin amin is a Master in Public Policy
student at the John f. Kennedy school of
Government at Harvard University where he
concentrates in international and global
affairs. He has conducted extensive
research at the nexus of technology and
democracy and plans to pursue doctoral
work in this field upon graduating.
Neda Agha-Soltan and a few close friends
headed toward the center of Tehran, Iran,
in June 2009 to join thousands of others
in an anti-government protest following
the disputed presidential election. After
becoming stuck in traffic, Agha-Soltan
and her friends eventually decided to exit
the car to cool off. As she stepped out and
gazed at the crowd, the sound of a
gunshot rang through the air. A single
bullet was fired, and she fell to
the ground.
Bystanders captured her last moments
on a cell phone, and within hours the
grainy, low-resolution footage was
uploaded to the Internet and soon spread
virally across the globe. With links to
the video posted on YouTube, Facebook,
and Twitter, the amateur clip eventually
harnessed the attention of the mainstream
media, grabbing headlines on CNN and
in the New York Times.
Agha-Soltan’s death became a symbol for
the Iranian anti-government movement,
and online social media amplified that
symbol for the rest of the world to see.
TRADITIONAL POWER CIRCUMVENTED
The image of Agha-Soltan’s death was not
one that Iran’s government wanted the
world to see. In a country notorious for
its media censorship, the emergence of
online social networking sites and cell
phone cameras now allows citizens to
bypass state-censored media instantly and
transmit a message or video clip to
countless others at little or no cost. Digital
media has enabled average citizens,
including the two bystanders at the scene
of Agha-Soltan’s death, to provoke
outrage and motivate millions of people
to their feet at the touch of a button. Such
a level of power was previously limited to
just a small number of people within a
governing regime or those leading an
opposition group.
But this phenomenon is not unique
to Iran. Around the world, social
networking sites like YouTube and
Facebook are becoming unlikely leaders
of political power, as citizens circumvent
single political or religious leaders to
become champions of their
own campaigns.
DIGITAL ACTIVISM IN ACTION
Digital activism, also known as cyber
activism or e-activism, describes how
citizens can use digital tools to effect
social and political change. These digital
tools range from mobile phones and
digital cameras to Web 2.0 social
networking sites like YouTube, Facebook,
and Twitter.

Manipulating Social Media to Undermine Democracy 2017 Final Alireza Ghahrood
his report was made possible by the generous support of the U.S. State Department’s Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor (DRL), Google, the German Federal Foreign Office, the Internet Society, Yahoo, and Golden Frog. The content of this publication is the sole responsibility of Freedom House and does not necessarily represent the views of its donors.This booklet is a summary of findings for the 2017 edition of Freedom on the Net. A full volume with 65 country reports assessed in this year’s study can be found on our website at www.freedomonthenet.org.
Manipulating Social Media to Undermine Democracy Online content manipulation contributed to a seventh consecutive year of overall decline in internet freedom, along with a rise in disruptions to mobile internet ser-vice and increases in physical and technical attacks on human rights defenders and independent media.Nearly half of the 65 countries assessed in Freedom on the Net 2017 experienced declines during the coverage period, while just 13 made gains, most of them minor. Less than one-quarter of users reside in countries where the internet is designated Free, meaning there are no major obstacles to access, onerous restrictions on content, or serious violations of user rights in the form of unchecked surveillance or unjust repercussions for legitimate speech.The use of “fake news,” automated “bot” accounts, and other manipulation methods gained particular atten-tion in the United States. While the country’s online environment remained generally free, it was troubled by a proliferation of fabricated news articles, divisive partisan vitriol, and aggressive harassment of many journalists, both during and after the presidential election campaign. Russia’s online efforts to influence the American election have been well documented, but the United States was hardly alone in this respect. Manipulation and disinformation tactics played an important role in elections in at least 17 other countries over the past year, damaging citizens’ ability to choose their leaders based on factual news and authentic debate. Although some governments sought to support their interests and expand their influence abroad—as with Russia’s disinformation campaigns in the United States and Europe—in most cases they used these methods inside their own borders to maintain their hold on power

Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
