So recently, we heard a lot about how social media helps empower protest, and that's true, but after more than a decade of studying and participating in multiple social movements, I've come to realize that the way technology empowers social movements can also paradoxically help weaken them.
最近，我们时常听到 社交媒体如何支持了抗议活动， 那是真的。 但是经过十多年来 我对多种社会活动的研究和参与， 我认识到 科技辅助社会运动的方式 也可能反过来起到削弱的作用。
