Social media and social movements

Currently social media has an important role in society and its growth has caused an impact on communication and the way information is delivered. I think I don't have a favourite piece of Technology, but I can recognize the importance of social media to violence and help the massification of social movements.

Social media are the way people are informed today, although much information that is uploaded to the network is not serious, can bring together a lot of people who have the same goal, because people have the freedom to write and demonstrate everything they think. Right now, in Chile, many campaigns against gender violence are being launched.

Complaints, calls to strike and organizations against violence have started on social media. however, I think that we should not only depend on social media to make big changes and stimulate empowerment.
