Social Media Revolutions

Social media has been causing change all over the world and it appears to not be slowing down anytime soon. Now more and more people use social media than resent times. Social media can be used for so much, from keeping in touch with people, to online dating sites, and so much more. Social media is not just seen as a place for people to have fun online anymore but it is also a tool to help bring people together to form revolutions. 

We have seen a huge increase in recent years with the use of social media in the Middle East and North Africa. According to an article written about social media in MENA,

 "An estimated 94% of social media users in MENA are on Facebook, which adds up to 56 million active Facebook users in the region. So what about other social media platforms? They’re pretty active, too. About 3.8 million social media users log in to Twitter each day, tweeting 73% of their posts in Arabic and 17% in English. What’s more astonishing is that YouTube attracts 285 million users in MENA each day – that’s the 2^nd highest regional consumption worldwide. "
