This further supports how an individual can support a movement through a cell phone. I have included citations and screenshots below.

This case resonated with me because I am also Thai and to see an innocent elderly being pushed around and end up dead is heartbreaking thus I could use my cell phone to share this article and resulted in support of the #StopAsianHate through my phone.

An example of what contributes to the #StopAsianHate is the news report I included below. This also qualifies as something to share online and support the movement.

There are multiple attacks that happened during the rise of #StopAsianHate, Asian people were targeted and harassed daily as the news reported.
April 1, 2024 at 10:47 AM
An example of this would be #StopAsianHate and just like other hashtags, this hashtag was used to promote and bring attention to the matter. #StopAsianHate was created from the rise of Asian hate since the COVID pandemic since some people blame Asian races for what happened which is an untrue fact.

Cell phones are used to document these unjust actions and the footage became evidence to share online thus bringing more attention to the matter and through phones, people can spread awareness and help support the movement just by a simple click through their phones.

These useful features have enabled us to record unfair treatment and bring attention to create movements to combat these social injustices.

The news they share could be as simple as a cute pet and a heartwarming story of a family reunion or a more serious story like this one. I have put the screenshot and the citations below.

This example is just one of the many stories online that caught the media’s attention and got covered by news anchor which they are sharing online stories more and more nowadays.

The latest update stated that this aggressor has been captured and brought to justice which proves the question of what would have happened if these women had not shared their story on social media and gained a lot of attention online, some of their videos even reached 1 million views.
April 1, 2024 at 10:43 AM
This story caught the attention of traditional media and several news channels are now covering their story, the police were also involved in catching the aggressor.
April 1, 2024 at 10:42 AM
After her viral video, there are more women sharing a similar story on their TikTok as well which turns out that they all got assaulted by the same man in New York City.
April 1, 2024 at 10:41 AM
In this example, the video of a woman covering her story of getting punched in New York City not only qualifies as citizen journalism, her video on TikTok also went viral.
April 1, 2024 at 10:41 AM
This phenomenon is only growing more rapidly each year and with the rise of TikTok since 2020, social media use is only increasing and there are multiple times where regular social media user was able to get the attention of the mainstream media and got their story covered in live television.
April 1, 2024 at 10:41 AM
Since the rise of cell phones and social media, people have been able to document and share current situations more easily causing the news to spread wider and faster.
April 1, 2024 at 10:40 AM
