Fieldwork was conducted in Egypt and Turkey between 2011 and 2015, partly through semi-structured interviews with 45 activists who took part either in the organisation or mobilisation period of the protests, as well as 2 international journalists who worked in Egypt and/or Syria. Among the interviewees were prominent Internet activists Wael Abbas, Abdelrahman Mansour, Esraa Abdel Fatah and the administrators of the Syrian Revolution 2011 Facebook page.
