In its early days, social media held promise as a great equaliser. But in practice, only the voices of those who have enough time, freedom, education and social resources are widely heard – such as\u00a0 the 26-year-old vlogger behind Nas Daily, says Dina Rezk in a new post for The Conversation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Every day for 1,000 days, 26-year-old Palestinian vlogger Nuseir Yassin published a \u201cone-minute video\u201d on his popular Facebook channel, Nas Daily, sharing his ideas with 11m followers as he traversed the globe. Now the project has come to an end, his success seems to show how social media can provide a platform for ordinary people \u2013 a tribute to the rise of citizen journalism over the past decade.<\/p>\n

Like many\u00a0other young people today<\/a>, Yassin began this project in search of a more meaningful life.\u00a0He described<\/a>\u00a0his previous job as a software engineer as \u201coverpaid\u201d and \u201cnot satisfying enough\u201d. Coming from a Palestinian background, Yassin seeks to provide\u00a0a different perspective<\/a>\u00a0in an overwhelmingly white vlogosphere, representing a region that\u00a0has long been misunderstood<\/a>\u00a0by the West.<\/p>\n

Viewers clearly like the informality and \u201crealness\u201d of the reportage Yassin has produced: his content can be entertaining, uplifting and on occasion, explicitly political. But a closer look at Yassin\u2019s background and the content of his stories reveals how wealth and power can influence citizen journalism, and raises questions about whose voices really get heard around the world, via social media.<\/p>\n

Privilege and politics<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yassin undoubtedly represents the most privileged of the Palestinian Arabs: those who reside within Israel, rather than the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza. His Harvard education and previous high-income career allowed him to begin Nas Daily with a substantial nest egg, and his career has\u00a0benefited from partnerships<\/a>\u00a0with corporations such as Facebook, which pay content creators to run ads before or during their videos.<\/p>\n

This privilege has a direct impact on Yassin\u2019s take on one of the most personal and controversial political issues he addresses in his videos: the Arab-Israeli conflict. His basic message regarding this issue, is that both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict are to blame and that\u00a0people need to<\/a>\u201cmove on\u201d.<\/p>\n

He says<\/a>: \u201cI can name a hundred things we as Palestinians (and Arabs like in Egypt and Jordan) did wrong in the past 70 years, and the same goes to Israel.\u201d This equalising headline overlooks decades of\u00a0illegal Israeli occupation<\/a>\u00a0and the fundamentally\u00a0asymmetric power dynamic<\/a>\u00a0between Israel and Palestine.<\/p>\n

The ultimate equaliser?<\/strong><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oy-g9xGqt5I<\/p>\n

Yassin\u2019s\u00a0critics highlight<\/a>\u00a0that while he has aired his personal grievances about being restricted travel to Kuwait simply because he was born in Israel, he makes little mention in his videos of the\u00a0millions of Palestinian refugees<\/a>\u00a0who do not hold a passport, nor those living in\u00a0what has been described<\/a>\u00a0as the world\u2019s largest open air prison \u2013 the Gaza strip.<\/p>\n

Yassin\u00a0refers to<\/a>\u00a0himself and his viewers as \u201cmoderates\u201d, and\u00a0seems convinced that<\/a>\u00a0the conflict between Israel and Palestine could be resolved if more people understood both sides. But it is only because of his privilege that he is able to assume this position \u2013 and broadcast it to millions of viewers via social media.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clear that\u00a0there are serious limits\u00a0to the power which social media has to propel underprivileged or minority voices onto the global stage. These limits were also showcased during Egypt\u2019s \u201cArab Spring\u201d. For example, the most important Egyptian Facebook page during the 2011 uprising \u2013 called\u00a0We are all Khaled Said<\/a>, after the 28-year-old man whose death in custody helped to incite the revolution \u2013 was\u00a0administered by Wael Ghonim<\/a>, Google\u2019s head of marketing for the Middle East and North Africa.<\/p>\n

According to an interview with Wael, when he was arrested by Egyptian security forces, Google\u00a0helped to secure<\/a>\u00a0his release, highlighting the power of international figures and corporations in mediating this space. As Egyptian activist Ahmed Maher put it: \u201cWael\u2019s role was to help market the revolution digitally.\u201d But, for most Egyptians, the real protests happened on the streets, and thousands of poorer, less connected and privileged Egyptians\u00a0were not spared<\/a>\u00a0the worst of the state\u2019s brutality.<\/p>\n

Clearly, social media can be used to reach out to people around the world, and challenge more traditional forms of state power. But it does not eradicate privilege, nor replace the need for\u00a0grassroots work<\/a>\u00a0to effect social and political change.<\/p>\n

In Yassin\u2019s defence, the 26-year-old clearly did not begin his endeavour with overtly political aspirations: he simply wanted to\u00a0live a good life<\/a>\u00a0and encourage others to do the same. And that is his prerogative. But his presence on the global stage is inherently political, not least because of how he has framed his contribution as a representative of an exceptional minority group.<\/p>\n

At its inception, social media \u2013 like other digital platforms \u2013 seemed to promise to\u00a0act as an equaliser<\/a>. But in practice, it\u2019s primarily those like Yassin who have the time, freedom of movement, educational capital and social resources to speak to a global audience.<\/p>\n
