摘要
Traditionally, Saudi Arabia is known as one of the most secretive kingdoms in the world. For decades, outsiders weren’t allowed in the country unless they were coming in for work. But, as Mohammed Bin Salman came to power in the mid-2010s, all of this would change. Not only would MBS westernize the country but he would open it up for tourism, give people more freedoms, and make tech more accessible. But, as tech and especially social media become more accessible, the Middle East in general saw a massive rise in protests and rebellions. In fact, several massive dictatorships were completely overthrown during a series of uprisings called the Arab Spring. Saudi Arabia was able to avoid this fate by flexing their military but they knew they needed a longer-term solution to prevent this from happening again. As such, they would build a massive propaganda room with hundreds of people whose full-time job was to just promote Saudi Arabia across various social media platforms. This video explains the intricacies of Saudi Arabia’s propaganda machine and the brave people who are fighting against it.
