One of the most affected battlegrounds by these super-empowered individuals in Syria. Or, more insidious, to recruit and direct sleeper cells to commit terrorist attacks by leveraging Facebook groups or forums such as 8Chan. Today, however, it is possible for protestors in Hong Kong to communicate and organise through apps like Tinder. While, most of these technologies and tactics used to be only available to states. These are individuals or groups who have maximised their impact in the domains of warfare, journalism, intelligence, and statecraft, by leveraging the democratisation of technology and its disruptive effects.
Much of my research and fascination is driven by the rise of the “citizen journalist”, “Homo Digitalis” or the “super-empowered individual”.
