The internet can be a place to voice your opinions and ideas to share with people or insight change.
One of the most valuable assets of the internet is that it is a free space. Most countries have access to uncensored online platforms to voice their opinions and express their feelings. Using various platforms to express these thoughts can be used in different ways. Social Media can be used to post shorter opinions and feelings about current events topics; for example from a survey (2017) results found that people were more likely to use their social media to post about current political topics, such as the Brexit vote. Other platforms can be blogging sites such as Tumblr and WordPress where people can discuss their topics and opinions in more depth. There are also online petitions and funding like Change.org and GoFundMe where people can do something about their views such as signing petitions and donating money to causes they believe in.
