Abstract

Human rights are fundamental rights for all individuals, regardless of their status. These rights include life,
liberty, freedom from slavery, freedom of opinion, work, and education. Social media plays a crucial role in
promoting these rights by exposing and naming violators. Media freedom is often restricted in many countries,
making it difficult for reporters to report. Social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter help channel the
democratic movement for freedom of speech and human rights. Publicizing human rights violations has elicited
reactions and positive changes, highlighting the importance of human rights and the need for equal opportunities
for all. Traditional media faces legal obstacles that hinder its ability to address human rights violations by the
incumbent government. Social media can exploit these limitations to highlight human rights issues, making it
crucial for social media to serve as a platform for education and freedom of speech on political and human rights.
