Back in
2011, the trendy social media channels in the US and Europe were starting to
trend in Egypt and other countries of the Arab world. Incidents referred to as
the “Arab Spring” and the Egyptian revolution of 2011 helped increase users’ adoption of Facebook, Twitter,
and the internet in general.
People were curious
to experience these platforms, especially that politics was dominating the
cultural scene in Egypt, and a rising debate on traditional media channels was whether
“Facebook created the revolution”.
