Criticism of slacktivism often involves the idea that internet activities are ineffective, and/or that they prevent or lessen political participation in real life.
Slacktivism can be better defined as doing something that supports a social or political cause but requires the minimal amount of energy, time or effort.
Notably, slacktivists participate in more than twice as many activities as people who do nt engage in slacktivism, and their actions have a higher potential to influence others.
