It is very obvious that Social media has got utmost importance in domestic politcs of every country n in domestic politcs of the world. It can enhance Political career of leaders n can reduce Political life of a govt authority. In this context, Pakistan is one of the country which has given voice 2 its silent majority through the Social media like FB n Twitter but what v will limit the discussion about is Twitter mainly which even has initiated trends n celebrities which captured headlines in mainstream media as well.
Imran khan- A Twitter PM
Perhaps it is only Imran khan who can b classified as a only political leader who was a PM of Pakistan on Twitter b4 formally becoming the 21st pm of pakistan. It was his Political prudence or was just a Political fluke that he chose this platform 2 fight its Political wars. He tweets a single tweet n gets thousands of likes, share n comments wdin seconds. He was become so much popular there that it can b easily said that other Political parties have started 2 copy him by just hiring paid-teams of their followers 2 counter him. He was so much successful that even Institutions like army, foreign office etc have started 2 run n putt across their statements, policies through this new political tool. He was so much successful that no other leader is able 2 reach closer 2 its followership. So v can easily give credit Imran khan 4 the popularity n 4 the opening of political window of opportunities through Twitter...
Twitter impact on social media.
As comes wd every round of popularity, the impact of SM especially Twitter is so much grave that even sometimes mainstream media finds it unable 2 compete wd this. Twitter has become the source of mainstream media's feed. Its trends make headlines, grab time in news bulletin n forces 2 mainstream media 2 smooth the public opinion according 2 its wishlist. V can say that every main story which had profound implications n Political n Economical ramifications just made way through the window of Twitter 2 the screen of MM(mainstream media) 2 the minds of innocent n gullible public. Twitter's importance can b gauged easily by understanding that if a particular journalist can't get its opinion aired through MM then he comes 2 here 2 rant the policies of management of their channel like Talat Hussain. So bcz of its independence of from regulations, public n Political chains, its utmost accessibility 2wards Political, ideological n aspiring figures at any time, its characteristics of hiding identities, its accessibility 2wards minds of somewhat sensible public n most importantly its anywhere anytime keep-in-touch factor have made it the unsurmountable peak of competition in the near future.
What Pakistan should learn
Pakistan has 44m users of SM which is very big number n a very bigger part of population. V don't know how much ppl here have very understanding of the modren warfare tactics. V don't know how teams wd motivated-goals r gonna react here but 1 thing is certain that what happens here had, have n will have a huge impact on our policies, thinking, public opinion n especially the very fabric of Pakistan's unity. So what v need 2 learn here that a very informal but formal way of limitations should b drawn over such platforms so that such an important venture continue 2 exist in the yaers 2 come n help pakistan 2 learn the importance of free speech.
In the end just 2 screenshot r presented 2 show how this platform is wrongly used....
Ur opinions r highly welcomed.
