Social Cyberspace, in the 3.0 era, reconfigures social intelligence as an effect of a new perception of shared knowledge. This virtuous circle, increased by the event of the Web «at the tip on your fingers», influences users’ behavior between virtual and real dimensions, and determines the development of new spaces and digital bodies. The phenomenon of Civic Mediactivism is born and is played in this context. The purpose of this essya is to investigate the values underlying the phenomenon, and understand how the social sciences can study its form, content and social function, in relation to the ontological, ethical and methodological dimensions
