| Summary: | Following the popular protest movement that led to the fall of the regime of Zine el Abidine Ben Ali, the media and ICT experts stressed the revolutionary role of the Internet in Tunisia, particularly of the “social networks”. While we attempt to analyze how the use of Internet may have been a catalyst specifically for the protest movement born in Sidi Bouzid, our article warns against certain popular analyzes promoting the myth of the “e-revolution” and social networks as the trigger, while at the same time ignoring where and how the revolution was born and led for the most part. Rather, our study shows why the role of “social networks” increased gradually to become really significant in the last days before the departure of Ben Ali. |
