The social media in Arabia is by no means a free one. It is strictly regulated by the governments, and it is used for the purposes and agenda of the governments, instead of being used for getting to more information and different points of view. This leads to a usage of the social media for propaganda purposes, for manipulating the public, and in many ways to keep in the dark of what is actually happening by only giving space to things that are of use for the people in charge. So to put it simple, the social media in Arabia is mostly used a s propaganda mechanism.
