A Quote by Lily Aldridge
Social media is something I approach organically. It's all me! Sometimes I'll post four things in a few hours, but then I could go dark for a week.

Social media is important, but it does not bring down governments. Governments can shut down the Internet. Governments can control media access. If they do what the Tunisians did and try and negotiate with the opposition, then the media's still open, the international community can learn what's happening in the country, and then that can provide inspiration.
