You may want to start by searching only blogs, or only Twitter or videos for example. Decide what the best communication method is for each blogger.

As an activist and a blogger he’s very visible online and his one word Tweet “Arrested&# made headlines around the world. This is one example of social media being used to secure the privacy of an individual. I’m trying to keep my focus in this case on activists and their issues with privacy online.
