Arguably, the mode of social action has to change with the times.
My issue with it is that social action can sometimes become more of a fad than anything. The deceased student Nadea's image is circulating the internet as the image of young Iranian protest. There's even one of those drawn image thingies that folks created for Obama during the election (ya know, the annoying trendy fad Obama stuff that caught on).
I have no issue with it as long as it conveys a MESSAGE rather than relying on trendy imagery for young people who don't know what the hell is going on.
