 Is Facebook a new location for social activism?

If you are at all a frequent user of Facebook, you have probably seen a number of your friends "donate their status to ____" or join "One Million Strong Against ______."

While there are obvious networking benefits for activists using Facebook, has the website taken the bite out of civil disobedience?
