Evgeny Morozov's article “Think again: The Internet” describes the expectations people had of the Internet when it first appeared. People expected the Internet to bring a new era of world peace and break the boundaries of the world. In the eyes of the author, the real transformation that the Internet brought to the world was the simplification of communication, which is accessible to almost everyone, and the emergence of online shopping. His opinion of the Internet is generally negative; he thinks it is promoting national borders (his example is free access to books in Norway, which is only available to people residing in Norway, because it is sponsored by the government), which he calls “Splinternet” (Morozov, E. 2010), that is, it is killing foreign news due to cuts to foreign correspondents. Social media is a buzzword that appears everywhere, but what exactly is it? It can be defined as a website, which not only provides information to the user, but also allows him to interact with the website. Instead of being a one-way communication medium like the traditional newspaper, it is a two-way street that also allows the user to communicate. Merriam-Webster defines it as: “forms of electronic communication (such as social networking websites and microblogging) through which users create online communities to share information, ideas, personal messages, and other content (such as videos)” (Merriam-Webster , 2014). Examples of social media are YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, blogs, Instagram and many more. Evgeny Morozov's negative opinion on the influence of social media on democratization is understandable considering the era in which his article was written. The Arab Spring, or as some call it Revolution 2.0, was just beginning...... mid-article in his article “Think Again: The Internet”. Social media can quickly spread the idea of ​​democracy and provide education to anyone with access to the Internet. As shown in various examples, it is also a tool to quickly reach millions of people and can be used as a tool to organize demonstrations or protests, which can be the first step towards democratization. However, social media is still a new technology that needs to be used more effectively, otherwise its influence may not be as great as it could be. As has been the case in the past, civil society plays an important role in changing a country's political system. Social media has become an important part of civil society and will continue to grow, so its influence will also increase. However, it will take a few years or even decades before we can see the real effects, precisely because it is still a new phenomenon..
