Social media is what let some people even fight back in the first place.

Yeah, the Arab spring didn't really make a huge impact in the end, but it definitely had the potential, and that was down to social media.

One of the new theories I've seen is that people, through social media, are being exposed to more viewpoints they disagree with, and radicalising in response - in other words not enough echo chambers. Using the opposite argument to support the same conclusion is suspicious as hell.
