• Resumen

  • Reardon talks about the knock-on effect of online activism, dubbed "slacktivism," on real-life behavior. It could make people donate less money to those same causes. One recent instance of the trend was when thousands of people replaced their Facebook profile photos with a red equals sign in support of gay marriage. Whether the effects of slacktivism are good or bad may be complicated to access, says Gary Hsieh of Michigan State University in East Lansing.
