The Social Storm tactic lets groups create pages to send supporters to. Get the team together for some coordinated Twitter posts and make some comments on target Facebook and Instagram posts. This was one of the most popular tools on the platform. AdFree Cities used it to target actors who were greenwashing, while the London Renters Union used it to quickly respond to the risk of one of their members being made homeless. Greenpeace has also used it in their international BreakFree from Plastics campaign.

Used to call an airline involved in the British government’s attempted xenophobic ‘Rwanda Plan’.
