What impact did the spread of communication technology have on political protest movements since the 1980s?
The increased accessibility of information had no noticeable effect since political protests arose due to economic conditions only and not technological advances.
They facilitated greater organization, mobilization, and awareness, leading to more effective challenges against established authorities.
New media platforms were typically used by regimes as tools for surveillance and repression, making it harder for protester movements to gain traction.
Communication technology led to a decline in political engagement as individuals stopped participating in public protests, favoring online activism.
