How is technology changing protests? By Alex Hudson and Peter Price
While much was made of social media's role in the Middle East uprisings, new technology that moves beyond simply social media is now threatening to change protests forever. "A containment is now in place in Trafalgar Square. The Met Police ask that you remain calm." Ten years ago, this would have been the sort of announcement made on a megaphone during a protest. This is actually a tweet on the Met Police's official Twitter account, which was used throughout the protests in London on 26 March. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/9451521.stm _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
