It is clear that social movements are not the same since the emergence of social networks. They have definitely revolutionised the way we express ourselves, communicate and organise. However, they are a double-edged tool. In this essay I analyse the main characteristics of social movements in the network era, mainly from two perspectives: that of Manuel Castells and that of Byung-Chul Han. Thus, I will determine whether they are experiencing a favourable or detrimental development with respect to the achievement of their objectives and, above all, I will make visible the new obstacles that appear in virtuality in order to overcome them.
