Tweeting to freedom : an encyclopedia of citizen protests and uprisings around the world / Jim Willis and Anthony R. Fellow.
This book looks at the issues regarding the use of the Internet and social media by activists in more than 30 countries, and how governments in these countries are trying to blunt these efforts to promote freedom. It examines the use of social media for political activism: the media freedom practiced; the methods by which governments block access to information; and the ways in which activists use the media--especially social media--to advance their cause of greater freedoms.
