Hashtag Activists

Twitter chief executive Jack Dorsey has hit the 'like' button on several tweets that praised singer Rihanna for her tweet on the protest by farmers against new agriculture laws in India. Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg's tweets on the farmer protests have been condemned by the government as interference in domestic matters.

The Bombay High Court asking activist Vernon Gonsalves, accused of inciting violence in Maharashtra's Koregaon Bhima in December 2017, why he kept "objectionable material such as books like War and Peace", has stirred up thousands of reactions on Twitter. The hashtag #WarAndPeace has been trending for most part of the afternoon today.

Before she begins her Wednesday morning, Iranian activist Masih Alinejad spends hours sifting through scores of videos and photos sent to her of women in Iran wearing white headscarves or white clothing as part of a growing online protest.

As Israel presses a massive manhunt for three teens believed kidnapped by Hamas, Israeli and Palestinian activists are fighting an online battle over their disappearance under the hashtag #BringBackOurBoys.

Social media sites have exploded with urgent appeals to #bringbackourgirls, ramping up global awareness of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram extremists 24 days earlier.
