The Facebook Revolution in Egypt Continues: But Not How You Might Think
During the Arab Spring, the revolution in Egypt was often described as a Facebook Revolution. On Facebook pages like “We are all Khaled Said,” Egyptian civil society organized itself and coordinated its protests in Tahrir Square.
Even today — four years after the fall of Mubarak, the ensuing political tumult and the reinstalment of the old elite under el-Sissi — the significance of Facebook for everyday communication continues unabated. And instead of sharing cat photos, Egyptians use the social network for new models of society, fundraising and progressive campaigns.
