There is some evidence to suggest that young people who join social media protests are more likely to protest offline too. For example, a study by the Pew Research Center found that young people who participated in the Arab Spring uprisings were more likely to have used social media to organize and mobilize protests than those who did not participate. Additionally, a study by the University of California, Berkeley found that young people who used social media to protest police violence were more likely to have participated in offline protests against police brutality.

However, it is important to note that correlation does not imply causation. It is possible that young people who are more likely to protest offline are also more likely to use social media. Additionally, it is possible that social media use can facilitate protest participation, but that it is not the only factor that influences whether or not young people protest offline.

Overall, the evidence suggests that there may be a link between social media use and offline protest participation among young people. However, more research is needed to determine the causal relationship between these two variables.
