The internet was immense in this particular protest. Sadly, the worst is yet to come. The country is in turmoil because the people they sent to disrupt the peaceful movement are out of control. They've weaponised poverty for so long and now it is working against them.
The only sad thing about this situation is that the politicians don't suffer. It is the common people that bear the brunt of the problem and at the end of the day, they will say it is because of the protests
