Protests are often becoming larger in size, longer in duration, and global in getting the support. Since the last decade, many commentators have given credit to social media for the effective and powerful mobilisation of dissent. In 2009, some had dubbed the post-election mass protests in Iran as ‘Twitter Revolution’ as protesting Iranians used Twitter to coordinate their contentious activities. Similarly, Facebook is regularly credited for facilitating the protest mobilisation against the North African regimes in 2011. In the last twelve years, wherever there has been a significant protest, the role of social media has always been prominently highlighted. There is no doubt that social media has already become a powerful resource in mobilising protest movements in many countries. Social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and WhatsApp serve as essential instruments for information exchange and coordination among protesting public and protest organisers to undertake collective actions.
