Since no options are provided, let me explain the role of social media in the conflict

The revolutionaries were the first to harness the powers of social media,to inform their followers. However, a series of sanctions,information and misinformation ensued from both sides, which turned the Syrian conflict to one of the firsts social media war in history. As the conflicts skyrocketed,both government and rebel groups have made extensive use of social media to finally influence, in their own favor, the international debate.
