I've not seen a recalling of how the Web got started like this...
He credits the Web for the March 2011 Arab Spring. Perhaps he should have waited a couple of months, because things haven't exactly turned out great in the Arab world. And the Web (and personal communication in general) were active in Iran the year before but that led to a lot of blood shed. There is a missing ingredient with revolution that a lot of liberals don't wish to acknowledge: an armed populace. Bang, bang beats clicky, clicky.
There is one even the Web is widely credited with enabling, the 2011 London Riots.
