Abstract

Information communication technologies (ICTs) have the potential to bring the world closer through facilitating communication and social interactions (Hampton and Wellman 2001; Qureshi 2009; Qureshi et al. 2018a). As the twentieth century came to an end and we stepped into the twenty-first century, scholars were optimistic about the power of ICTs to turn the planet into a global village (Wellman et al. 2001; Zhao 2006; Van Alstyne and Brynjolfsson 2005). It was thought that people could express themselves fairly, freely, and safely by using social networking sites and their evolved avatar, social platforms. There were some early cautious voices about these utopian views that highlighted issues of cyber balkanization and fragmentation of online space (Van Alstyne and Brynjolfsson 2005; Zembylas and Vrasidas 2005), but they were few and far between.
