About this listen

 Episode 3 of Social reveals social media's revolutionary power, opening with Tunisia's 2011 Arab Spring where one video helped topple a dictator. VV Steele explores how BlackLivesMatter organized global protests after George Floyd's murder, MeToo gave survivors collective voice against Harvey Weinstein, and politicians communicate directly with constituents. Discover LGBTQ+ youth finding lifelines in conservative areas, rare disease patients connecting globally, K-pop fans mobilizing millions for activism, and the creator economy enabling bedroom-to-millions success. Learn how crowdfunding saves lives, missing persons get found, and environmental activism spreads. VV examines social media as amplifier of humanity—revolutionary and destructive simultaneously—asking how we'll use this superpower responsibly.
