Not really. That "arc of history" line is just propaganda. Twitter did play a roll in these changes. Whether these were towards "justice" or not depends on your viewpoint, of course.

To make an example of my point, how could the American Revolution start in 1765 without Twitter? Something else did play a roll and was good enough. That revolution even succeeded.
Thousands of other data points scattered all along human history, successful or not.

They wanted to happen, they would have used something else. Plenty of history happened before Twitter.
