Internet Activism

I can't say that I've regularly participated in social media events, let alone one's about activism. This is mostly because I actually feel kind of bad liking some status in support of a social issue. The reason being, I feel like I'm not really doing anything to help. Not to say sources like Facebook and twitter don't help spread information about these issues, but  I feel that unless you act you're not really helping. In my eyes internet activism is more like a game of hot potato, where users IM, tweet, like, or whatever until someone whose actually going to solve the problem see's the message. Participating in movements like these are fine and actually helpful, but I don't feel like you could call yourself an activist. Anyone can click a button that says "like", but only the few who risk their own well-being for a cause can really make a difference.
