Nice writing..and thank you ….
Hopefully the writers of those (listed) books/ publications will write (back) some comments and (then) all of us can read the larger / whole pictures or kind of ‘virtual conference’ on moral panic and internet as media.

On the self-reflection looking at ‘morality & damaging’ situation,
the choice are:
“the first to throw a stone” or “join the first who rebuild the rubble and ashes”

thanks for your comment. you’re right, what’s more important is the empowerment, engagement, and participation of the citizen (especially the marginalized) on the ground after the regime change rather than the revolt itself.

Thanks for bringing this ‘Framing Bouazizi’ issue.
It is always very difficult at any level, to deal with social justice related to high unemployment, oppression, politic and family/support and suicide/ self inflicted wound. ‘Hybrid’ action, not only in words seems will sustain for a long time.
Movement through digital media not only powerful to replacing the regime, but also for survival in daily life among urban poor locally.

Agree with you mbak, somehow mainstream media (which I never considered as politically neutral) plays significant role in driving the social media users. On the contrary, mainstream media broadcasts news that was originally posted on socmed e.g twitter

thanks QQ. yeah, all over the world many institutions now believe (too much) in the power of social media. my point (in this article) is, oh well, it doesn’t have that much inherent power, or its power/potential is conditional.
