DESCRIPTION:From #BlackLivesMatter to Trump #Resistance, from the Arab Spring to the 
 failed Turkish coup, the world has been captivated by political movements 
 in the digital era. But the decentralized nature of social media-fueled 
 activism is both its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. 
 Resilient, but leaderless. Responsive, but undisciplined. Are these new 
 technologies truly changing the nature of protest, or are they merely 
 updating the ways in which we observe them? And what does all this mean in 
 the age of the Tweeter-In-Chief?\n\nZeynep Tufekci, a contributing opinion 
 writer at the New York Times and one of the leading experts on collective 
 actions coordinated by social media, examines the trajectories of these 
 modern protests—how they form and why they have difficulty persisting in 
 their long-term quests for change.\nSPEAKER:\n\nZeynep 
 Tufekci\nContributing Opinion Writer, New York Times; and Assistant 
 Professor, School of Information and Library Science, University of North 
 Carolina\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2017/04/20/18798632.php
