Abstract
The study adds a great deal of understanding about the use of social media for
political purpose. The current review paper brings to the knowledge that the
consumption of social media for news stimulates political debates among the
users that ultimately leads them to find solutions of their political problems. The
paper tells that if the authorities do not address the concerns of the users then
new media technologies serve as instruments and facilitate them to contrive
different devices to achieve their goals. So the use of social media for getting
news, discussing political issues and other public affairs ultimately fetch protest
behavior among its users in order to raise demands for solving their political
problems. Moreover, disintermediation of social media and its anti-hegemonic
nature make it more appealing as a global agenda setter for the users to highlight
their disquiets at international level.
