Several events in recent years have motivated Facebook users to change their profile pictures to raise awareness about an issue within their network (Cofff, Chapman, & Coffé, 2016). For instance, when the Human Rights Campaign urged people to change their profile photos to a pink equal sign in support of marriage equality in 2013, 120% more profile picture changes were made than usual (Bakshy, 2013). Then, within days of the US Supreme Court's ruling to legalize same-sex marriage in 2015, over 26 million Facebook users updated their profile photos with a rainbow flag in support (Dewey, 2015). In fact, recent research discovered that approximately 39% of all adults engage in political or civic activities on social networking sites, such as posting or commenting on political content, encouraging others to vote, and encouraging others to take action on political or social issues that are important to them (Smith, 2013). Changing one's profile picture on Facebook allows an individual to participate in online social campaigns that are often centered on a contemporary social issue or charitable cause. Such participation has been termed clicktivism, but this contemporary means of civic engagement has also been referred to as slacktivism, defined as a "low-risk, low-cost activity via social media whose purpose is to raise awareness, produce change, or grant satisfaction to the person engaged in the activity" (Rotman et al., 2011, p. 821). Some examples of this can be liking pages on Facebook, sharing videos online, or signing online petitions (Y.-H. Lee & Hsieh, 2013). While some research indicates that such public tokens of support do not lead to more substantial contributions to the cause (Kristofferson, White, & Peloza, 2014), others argue that even small symbols of support, such as changing one's Facebook profile photo, can spread awareness of issues in a network and lead to significant action (Cofff et al., 2016; Vie, 2014). In fact, individuals who frequently engage in
