 An implicit assumption of the claim that the balance of power over information dissemination is shifting is that private file sharers provide useful data to viewers. Cynics may assert that citizen journalists do not provide sufficiently accurate or sophisticated analytical commentary with their uploaded videos and blog posts to facilitate contextualization and also lack the requisite credibility and gravitas to inspire public belief. In short, raw videos or other independent reports allegedly may not provide informative or seemingly informative information. I would counter that even poorly conceived and contextualized can inspire massive social discussions that lead people to inform themselves. (See Kony 2012). Additionally, certain types of videos and other media may speak for themselves without requiring much supplementary analysis, e.g. uniformed authority figures abusing dissidents in a public square during a mass demonstration.
