Friday, January 5, 2024

Much of this support was organised online, using the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie (I am Charlie).

Key Points: 
  • Much of this support was organised online, using the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie (I am Charlie).
  • In my PhD research, I am exploring the role of social media in commemoration, specifically when it comes to terror attacks.
  • The immense popularity of #JeSuisCharlie is a prime example of how the technology available to us can shape our understanding of shared experiences.
  • When the attack took place in early 2015, Twitter use was hitting its peak, with hashtags well established as key drivers of content.

Lasting power

  • It has had an enduring legacy which is unusual for social media.
  • After a knifeman wounded two at the former site of Charlie HQ in 2020, the hashtag reemerged in various forms.

What would #JeSuisCharlie look like today?

  • Twitter is now X, and Elon Musk’s takeover has driven users toward other platforms like Mastodon and Instagram’s Threads.
  • Younger users in particular are choosing sites such as TikTok and Instagram over X and Facebook.
  • Because of this, it’s often difficult to trace a single point of emergence for a particular phrase or idea.
  • And platforms such as TikTok make it easier to respond, adapt or remix content instead of just sharing it.
  • The use of algorithms to influence user behaviour on social media means shared memories are now often circulated in echo chambers.
