(e.g., Della Porta & Mosca, 2005; Juris, 2008; Kahn & Kellner, 2005;
Langman, 2005; Lievrouw, 2011; O’Lear,1999; Wasserman, 2007)
Literature: Cyberactivism

in Tunisia and Jordan, and I just found out that there
are people demonstrating in Paris too. All of these
people have faith in us.

gathered there and extreme noise that I can’t tell what
