Abstract:
The advent of social media platforms has reshaped the global political landscape, enabling rapid communication and organization across geographical boundaries. This paper reviews the influence of social media on political movements over the last decade, emphasizing its role in democratizing political discourse, facilitating activism, and mobilizing marginalized groups. Through a global lens, the research examines case studies from the Arab Spring to Black Lives Matter, and the #MeToo movement, to understand how social media platforms have been employed for political activism. However, the paper also explores the drawbacks of this digital landscape, including misinformation, government surveillance, and the manipulation of public opinion.
