The Tunisian revolution provoked many reflections and analysis on the use of social networks and the Internet during this revolution. Our article focuses on the Tunisian immigrant population in France and their commitment to the militants through Facebook. This social network is presented as an alternative communication tool wich contributed to the digital mobilization of these immigrants. Facebook became a new space of confrontation and liberation of the word. This tool fuelled the necessary « physical » mobility in the traditional domains of revolutionary expression. With this research, we propose a review on communication adopted in the public place by offering a new perspective on digital practices as tools of action.
