Highlights

Rather, we are faced with a certain idealization of the great potential of the Internet and social networking, where mythical speeches that anticipate the desirable uses of these tools in the field of social and political participation arise

The participation on the Internet: beyond the Slack-clickactivismo.-the “brecha digital” of access to web 1.0, but Web 2.0 requires us to ask ourselves if really the access to the network is democratized, and whether the content production has become democratized
