Cons

It is easier to be racist or judgmental online than IRL because all it takes is a click of a button to hurt someone. ~SADIE
What you post on social media sites stays there forever; even if you delete it, it is still view-able. If you regret fighting for certain things from time to time then social network activism is not for you. -Justin
Anyone can see your posts, and this can be open to people who don't like your arguments as much... -Ellia
It is sometimes easier to receive threats online than it is in real life; people in the real world can't usually get away with threatening. -Justin

Online activism is a good way to start standing up for what you believe in. It is also seen all over the world. ~ Sadie
