Abstract

The article's objective was to “analyze the social appropriation of ICTs (Information and Communication Technologies) in the social movement #SOSCOLOMBIA.” It is an investigation with a transectional-descriptive design in which conversations of people in cyberspace were captured around the hashtag #SOSCOLOMBIA. Quantitative research was used to extract data on the networks use of those who participated in the conversations. Data mining, also known as a non-invasive technique, was used to capture conversations from April 2nd to July 1st, 2021. It is concluded that activists have exceeded the level of simple access-use and reached the level of empowerment since the activists were able to transform their social reality thanks to the social appropriation of ICT for development. It is then about putting into practice the capacities related to ICT both individually and collectively.
