Not just gesture politics?

1 SOME of the sheen has come off the belief that online activism can

change the world. The social-media revolutions of the Arab Spring and the antics of hacktivist group Anonymous in opposing online censorship have diffused into "slacktivism" – changing a profile picture, or reposting a status update, to show support for a favoured cause.

2 The suspicion is that such feel-good actions boost self-esteem but achieve precious little else. Some critics say such easy acts 41 if they replace more meaningful action, such as donating to a charity or

volunteering time and labour. Are people right to be worried?

3 Perhaps, but the picture is complex. It seems that those signing up to online petitions are more willing to donate to a cause related to the petition, but give smaller amounts than non-signatories would.
