I only recently discovered the work of Zeynep Tufekci, a remarkable Turkish-American academic and journalist, who writes beautifully and thoughtfully about the power of social media in the political arena. Her essay on the #bringbackourgirls online movement, and the complexities of Islamic militancy is provocative, smart, and powerful. Tufekci captures much of my own deep discomfort with online slacktivism - but writing as a Muslim woman and a communication theorist, she goes so much deeper than I ever could. A truly must-read essay about good intentions, virality, and unintended consequences.
