Is social Network an ally of the people or
enemy of governments?
Maybe is both, access and use of technology
has increased over the last decade and has influence our own lives as well as governments
in our countries. Today we have access
to the most accurate and precise information, we don’t need to use the TV or
radio to know what is happening in the world.
With just a click in our smart phones or any other type of device we are
able to connect with information in any part of the world.
Social Network is a source of
self-expression and promotes understanding among its users. The power no longer relies on the hand of the
government, the SN had given power to the society to express and inform their
own point of view.
The revolution through Social Networks has
helped countries like Egypt to defeat a corrupt government. This antigovernment movement used Social
media as a very powerful tool to tell the world what was really happening in in
what we know by the Arab Spring.
For example, since the turmoil started
total rates of tweets from Egypt and around the world increased from 2,300 to 230,000
retweets a day. Some of the top 24 video protesters uploaded on YouTube that
surpassed the 5.5 million views.

This is more about social media than SNA. I was looking for something that demonstrated your grasp of the use of SNA in a real-world situation. Look at other posts.
