In this customer service environment and digital convergence seeks to investigate the motivations and the various aspects of cyber activism leading consumers to participate in these virtual communities to complain companies. For better understanding of the study will be used a mixed research approach through the analysis of networks and content analysis. Thus the question arises, does the cyber-activism of dissatisfied consumers on the Facebook social network affects the reputation of the companies?
