Paragraph on would revolution in Tunisia happen without facebook ?
I think that the revolution in Tunisia would not occur without the help of social media especially Facebook because people published videos and information of Facebook which informed people about the corruption which was taking place in Tunisia, this helped set a revolution as people became aware of what was happening and wanted a change.
