Focusing on the transformative role of social media, this book examines how dissent groups in Egypt utilized digital platforms during the 2011 Uprising against autocratic governance. It details the phases of revolutions in Egypt and the strategies employed by pressure groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and April 6 to bypass media censorship and highlight human rights abuses. The era of social media not only expanded political discourse within Egypt but also garnered international support, ultimately contributing to the downfall of Hosni Mubarak's regime.
