Abstract
Social media can test how firmly entrenched Internet freedom is in established
democracies through a comparison with countries with an authoritarian track
record. The method is to evaluate the use of social media in recent protests in a
sample of established democracies and authoritarian regimes, and to compare
differences and similarities in government responses.
