The document discusses how social media and the Occupy Wall Street movement challenge capitalism. It notes that social media enables protests through its democratic and networked structure. The characteristics of social media, such as participation, collaboration, and dynamic communication, are similar to those defining Occupy Wall Street. While social media alone does not create change, it can facilitate existing political movements through mobilization, organization, and direction of demonstrations. Occupy Wall Street is shaped by social media through open, networked, and user-driven communication that is collaborative, participatory, and co-creative.
