Social media has played a significant role in shaping Iraq’s political landscape and society in recent years. The widespread use of social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram has allowed Iraqis to express their opinions, connect with others, and mobilize for social and political change.
One of the most notable examples of social media’s impact on Iraq’s politics was during the 2019 protests. The protests, which began in October 2019, were largely organized and fueled by social media. Protesters used platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to coordinate demonstrations, share information, and mobilize support.
Social media also played a crucial role in exposing corruption and government inefficiencies.
