Abstract

This study explains the emergence of digital activism as a new social movement by utilizing digitalization. With the advancement of communication technology and social networks, such as smartphones, websites, and social media, social movement can be directed more efficiently. These become a new organizing tool to increase the mobilization of the participants, extend the scale of the movement, and facilitate the coordination of tactics via texting on social media. In doing the research, this study uses a qualitative method with a literature review design. Thus, the author collected numerous secondary data to be reviewed and analyzed comprehensively. The study’s result shows that digital activism is more effective than traditional movement. This is because the social network created by digitalization has the ability to bridge the local and the global. The information about movements can also spread quickly so that more people can participate in them. Moreover, this study also shows that digital activism has created fundamental changes in social life with an establishment of the logic of connective action as a new form of collective engagement.
