[Air-L] facebook for political propaganda

[Yana Breindl]

Hello Stefania,

Maybe this study about the use of Facebook for political activism  
could interest you. It takes as a case study the Anti-FARC Rallies and  
should include some interesting references for you. Here the link :

The paper has also been presented at the "Social Web - Towards  
Networked Protest Politics?" Conference in Siegen (Germany) last  
November.
