Farah Baker is a Palestinian social media activist living in the Gaza Strip, who became popular while live-Tweeting the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict.[1][2][3] At the age of 16, she tweeted her thoughts and feelings as bombing raids occurred at her home.[4] Her Tweets became a social network phenomenon, and Baker's following on Twitter jumped from 800 to 166,000 in a few days.[5][6][7] In Anna Reading's book, Gender and Memory in the Globital Age she writes that Baker was covered in news articles in The Daily Telegraph in the UK and Russia Today.[4]
