The aim of this study is to examine the impact of a media, Internet, in our current societies throughout the description and the analysis of the importance of the latter in contemporary social movements. If Internet is today a central element for political activism and identitary recognition among numerous movements, nevertheless, it is not a panacea. Indeed, it presents some limits: It cannot solve all social movements problems, it is not a substitute for their classical and «material» actions, and more, it generates new paradoxes.
