Myanmar Youtubes
The most current examples of video benefitting human rights is illustrated in the youtube videos that have been coming out of Myanmar. The government there is aparently also aware of the power of visual argument because they have shut down internet cafes (most? all?) in the capital to prevent people from sending out video, images or information on the protests there. The videos I've seen show no direct violence, but the latest ones clearly show the chaos of the situation and how revered the monks are by the people of Myanmar. Youtube is another form of journalism; therefore, just as many journalists have been prevented from covering the events there, the internet is also banned to avoid home-made documentation.
