According to research, Social Media mirrors the real world and is all about conversations. Social media facilitates the interactive web by engaging users to participate in, comment on, and create content as a means of communicating with the social graph, other users, and the public. Social media platforms offer individuals unprecedented opportunities to connect, share information, and organise around political causes, transcending geographical boundaries and traditional hierarchical structures. Through these platforms, marginalised voices can amplify their messages, galvanising mass support and fostering collective action. However, this phenomenon also presents challenges, as the viral nature of information dissemination can lead to the spread of misinformation and the creation of echo chambers. Nonetheless, social media’s ability to rapidly disseminate information and mobilise individuals has indelibly transformed the dynamics of political activism, shaping the way movements form, evolve, and influence societal change in the 21st century.
