Social media played a key role in the Arab Spring uprisings by allowing information and protests to spread rapidly. The traditional model of media controlled by authoritarian leaders was disrupted as social media gave citizens a way to instantly share news, comments, and help organize events. This helped accelerate the "domino effect" as protests and acts of self-immolation were publicized, inspiring more demonstrations across other countries in the region. An estimated 40 million people in the Arab world were using the internet by 2009, with millions on Facebook, highlighting social media's potential to facilitate grassroots organization during the uprisings.

The document discusses the role of social media during the Arab Spring uprisings of 2011. It argues that social media accelerated the "domino effect" of protests spreading between countries by allowing people to instantly share information, comment on events, and organize protests more quickly. Key statistics show the rapid growth of internet and social media users in Arab countries leading up to 2011. While past revolutions relied on owned media controlled by authoritarian regimes, new models of communication on social media empowered citizens to spread information outside of state control and coordinate protests that ultimately led to regime changes across the Arab world.
Social media presentation
The document discusses how social media contributed to the 2011 Arab revolutions. It argues that social media accelerated the "domino effect" of the revolutions by allowing people to instantly share information and commentary, compare facts, and organize events outside of government censorship. It provides statistics on Arab internet and social media usage and notes how quickly self-immolation spread after one man set himself on fire in Tunisia in December 2010. The document concludes that social media's main contribution was speeding up the spread of the revolutions across countries, though its long-term role is uncertain.
What social media is doing to the world
Social media is changing the world by allowing real-time communication across borders. It has helped raise funds for disaster relief in Haiti and spread awareness of political protests in Iran and other countries. However, some governments seek to restrict or monitor social media use over concerns about control and surveillance. While controversies exist, social media also enables new connections and opportunities for exposure. The future of social media globally remains uncertain, but participation continues to grow in all regions.

We media
The media industry was once dominated by large corporations but people are now able to produce and distribute their own content more easily through the internet. Social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube allow people to freely share opinions and ideas, leading to the emergence of "We Media" where ordinary users can participate in media production. However, some argue this reduced authority of traditional media companies and increased online surveillance can threaten democracy.
Week 1 'we media’ and democracy
The document discusses the concept of "We Media" and its implications for democracy. It argues that traditional media systems maintain a "spectator democracy" by controlling information, but that the rise of grassroots online journalism by bloggers (termed "We Media") has allowed news to be published and spread in real-time by ordinary people. This shifts power away from a small number of large corporations and towards the public. The document also discusses how the internet has empowered audiences and made them more creative through platforms like blogs and social media.
Role of New Media in Democratization
This document discusses new media and its impact. It defines new media as related to the internet, technology, images and sound. New media has provided space for freedom of expression and opinion. It has also enabled information sharing in new ways. The document discusses how social media in particular has allowed for political participation and influence. New media can change social interactions and relationships at both individual and societal levels by allowing rapid information dissemination. Examples are provided of how new media has enabled political and social movements and activism. The conclusion discusses challenges of democratization through media and the need for governance and education around new media.

While social media helped spread information and organize protests during the Arab Spring, it was ultimately offline human action that drove revolution. The paper discusses how Twitter emerged as a coordination tool for Tunisian and Egyptian protests in 2011, but traditional media and face-to-face communication remained more important for informing people. The Egyptian government attempted to limit social media's influence by shutting down internet access, but this had the effect of driving more people into the streets to protest. The conclusion is that technology alone does not cause revolution; it takes real human beings standing together through direct action to overthrow authoritarian regimes.

Internet Activism & Hacktivism
Internet activism uses communication technologies like websites and email to organize people around issues like human rights and the environment in order to create social change. Hacktivism combines hacking and activism by using techniques like website defacements and denial of service attacks to disrupt services and draw attention to political or social causes in a nonviolent way. While activism and hacktivism can be effective in achieving goals, they also face criticisms like furthering divisions in society and potentially disrupting free speech.

Is a mobile phone more dangerous than an AK47?
The document discusses how digital technologies like social media, mobile devices, and cloud computing empowered self-organizing networks during the Arab Spring in 2010-2011. These same forces are now disrupting traditional business hierarchies and government structures globally. Statistics show rapid growth of internet and social media usage among younger demographics worldwide. Some governments initially responded by trying to restrict access to these technologies, but a transition toward more open systems may better enable civic participation and innovation.
Collective action under autocracies
1. Social media has impacted collective action under autocracies by faster information diffusion, changing the shape of connectivity networks, and (re)uniting or (re)segmenting audiences.
2. It allows for rapid many-to-many communication, complicating state efforts to suppress dissent through censorship or isolating protests.
3. However, social media does not guarantee unity - it can strengthen existing dynamics and polarization, with outcomes like civil war and brutal repression in some cases.
Social media and the Arab Spring
Social media, especially Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, played a key role in accelerating and fueling the Arab Spring protests across the Middle East that began in late 2010 in Tunisia. These platforms allowed for rapid sharing of ideas and organization of events, helping spread protests across numerous countries. While social media was not the sole cause, it clearly helped protesters coordinate, spread awareness of injustices, and recruit new members from a wide audience.
Citizen journalism
The document discusses citizen journalism and its role in bearing witness to human rights issues. It provides examples of how citizen journalism supplemented mainstream media coverage of disasters like the 2004 South Asian tsunami by providing eyewitness accounts and perspectives. Citizen journalism also challenges the "othering culture" of mainstream media by allowing people to report on their own suffering and breaking down "us vs. them" dichotomies. The document analyzes several cases of citizen journalism in India, Palestine, and other contexts. It concludes that citizen reporters are beginning to join professional journalists in informing the public.

The document then analyzes ten serious consequences of social media for modern society, such as addiction, security issues, economic deficits, and more. It concludes by proposing ways to address these problems, including promoting concepts like "Slow Tech" that encourage more mindful social media use.

The document discusses the relationship between democracy and the news media. It notes that Beppe Grillo and the Five Star Movement in Italy rely entirely on the internet and social media rather than traditional news outlets. It also discusses how Silvio Berlusconi has long dominated Italian media through his ownership of television channels, newspapers, and influence over public broadcasting. The document raises concerns about the concentration of media ownership and its impact on press freedom and democracy.
In defense of citizen journalism
Citizen journalism involves private individuals collecting and reporting news and information rather than relying solely on professional journalists. The rise of the internet and availability of technology has greatly expanded citizen journalism by providing many new platforms for sharing information, such as blogs, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. This has removed the traditional gatekeeping role of media institutions and in some cases reduced their profits. Citizen journalism promotes greater interactivity and accessibility of information by overcoming the limitations of time and space.

Citizen journalism involves private individuals performing news reporting and dissemination roles that were traditionally reserved for professional journalists. The rise of the internet and availability of technology has greatly expanded citizen journalism by allowing public citizens to easily collect and share news and information through blogs, social media, and other online outlets. This proliferation of information sources has removed the traditional gatekeeping role of media institutions and in some cases reduced profits, but it also promotes greater interactivity and accessibility of information which can be healthy for public debates.

It explores how activists utilized online platforms like blogs and social media to publicize grievances against the former regime and influence international coverage of the revolution. The study aims to determine if activists have gained political empowerment through these technologies, and if this empowerment is sustainable in Tunisia's current political context. Interviews are conducted with activists to understand their roles, visibility, popularity and credibility in the post-revolution period. The research also analyzes control over information and the "market for loyalties" using Monroe Price's theoretical framework to assess activists' ongoing authority and ability to engage in

Social Change and The Arab Spring
The Arab Spring began in December 2010 in Tunisia after a fruit seller set himself on fire to protest government corruption and oppression. Massive street protests erupted demanding political reform. Through social media, the protests spread to other countries in the region, toppling authoritarian regimes in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and elsewhere. Social media played a key role in organizing and publicizing the protests internationally, and though some governments tried to shut down access, citizens found ways to communicate and coordinate their uprisings.
Social Media Role in politics ziad jaser
This document analyzes the role of social media in politics. It discusses how social media has become an essential tool for political mobilization, campaigning, and propaganda. Social media helps activists organize protests, politicians campaign for office, and groups spread their messages. While not single-handedly causing political change, social media provides new opportunities for participation and has influenced many political events and outcomes in recent years.
Social media in egypt
The document discusses how social media was used as a catalyst during the Egyptian unrest in 2011. It describes how protestors used social media to become interconnected and coordinate protests. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and blogs allowed protestors to share information in real time, tell their stories, and live stream events, which helped accelerate the uprising. The document suggests social media will likely play a role in future revolutions by allowing real-time information sharing, engaging citizens as information nodes with global reach, and helping work around media censorship. However, governments may try to counter social media activism by shutting down access, spreading disinformation, and increased monitoring and infiltration online.

e-Democracy: Egypt’s 18 Day Revolution
The document summarizes how Egyptians used various communication technologies during the 18-day revolution in 2011 that overthrew President Hosni Mubarak. Satellite television, mobile phones, social media, and face-to-face communication all played important roles in spreading information, organizing protests, and influencing public opinion. While social media received attention, satellite TV, mobile phones, and personal networks were ultimately more influential due to high adoption rates in Egypt. The revolution was sparked by police brutality and gave voice to long-standing public frustrations with unemployment, poverty, and political repression under Mubarak.

Mobile phones and the Arab Spring
Mobile phones and social media played an important role in enabling revolutions during the Arab Spring uprisings. In countries like Egypt and Tunisia where the revolutions succeeded, social media and mobile phones allowed protesters to organize, coordinate actions, and share information in order to overcome government restrictions. Mobile phones in particular allowed citizens to broadcast events directly and share their perspectives with the wider world. However, while new technologies spread the revolutions, they were not solely responsible for the outcomes, as countries like Libya and Syria saw similar technology use but unsuccessful revolutions due to other factors like government repression. Overall, mobile phones and social networking gave people new ways to engage civically and have their voices heard on a large scale.
Women of Egyptian revolution- Credemus Associates-
Women played a crucial role in the Egyptian revolution through both their physical participation in protests and their use of social media. While women faced obstacles like gender discrimination and lack of political representation, many emerged as leaders of the revolution by organizing demonstrations online and in person. Social media helped spread awareness of the movement and connect women internally and internationally, though post-revolution women's voices have receded. Ongoing challenges include increasing women's political participation and challenging social norms, but new technologies and united activism can help advance women's rights and role in society.

In the 20th century with the invention of computer technology and the internet, communication revolution gained momentum and it is continuing to accelerate further in the 21st century. These rapid technological developments are forcing a change in society at the same rate. Especially in recent years, as one of the important changes of the communication field, social media has become one of the most effective tools of the internet. Without taking into consideration whether their ideas are the prevailing ones or the minority ones, people have begun to share every idea, so they can create their own public in a very short time and as a result they have the opportunity to announce their ideas to whole world. Social media is an important place in the lives of many people, for some it may even be at the addiction levels. With steadily growth of this created communication area of social networks, it has been questioned whether the spiral of silence as introduced by Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann is still there today. In this study, the facilities offered to individuals by social media as a communication tool, social media as a communication strategy, the spiral of silence in terms of social communication and the impact of social media on spiral of silence will be discussed.

Global and mobile internets are created locally but have become global technologies. While the internet is imagined differently in various places, understanding its local contexts and histories is important to comprehending its role in globalization. Debate around internet freedom emerged as the internet became a mass medium, with different countries and activists promoting open or regulated visions of the internet.
Zeynep pdf
Social media alters dissent under autocracies by changing how people connect and share information. It allows for many-to-many networks that complicate governments' efforts to isolate and suppress protests. While in the past governments could isolate small protests, social media enables mass coordination and rapid sharing that helps spread protests more widely. This is seen in the 2010-2011 Tunisian protests, where social media use grew alongside real-world demonstrations until the government fell. Social media creates new publics and ties that bridge social circles, undermining claims that weak ties don't aid protest success.

Digital Banking in the Cloud: How Citizens Bank Unlocked Their Mainframe
Inconsistent user experience and siloed data, high costs, and changing customer expectations – Citizens Bank was experiencing these challenges while it was attempting to deliver a superior digital banking experience for its clients. Its core banking applications run on the mainframe and Citizens was using legacy utilities to get the critical mainframe data to feed customer-facing channels, like call centers, web, and mobile. Ultimately, this led to higher operating costs (MIPS), delayed response times, and longer time to market.
Ever-changing customer expectations demand more modern digital experiences, and the bank needed to find a solution that could provide real-time data to its customer channels with low latency and operating costs. Join this session to learn how Citizens is leveraging Precisely to replicate mainframe data to its customer channels and deliver on their “modern digital bank” experiences.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.
