When speaking of social media, citizen journalism and global green or humanitarian actions may come to mind. However, the same tools are available to a human rights activist and a terrorist, said Jelena Maksimovic in the presentation Nationalism and Social Media: The Dark Side of Social Media. Jelena examined a case study of a self-declared nationalist association in Serbia the Serbian National Movement 1389.
