The digital response to the 2015 Paris Terrorist Attacks centered around symbols of solidarity and global grief across social media. Following the tragic events of November 13th, the internet saw a massive surge in the use of the 'Pray for Paris' hashtag and Jean Jullien’s 'Peace for Paris' illustration, which merged the Eiffel Tower with a peace sign. Social media platforms also popularized temporary profile picture filters to show support, marking a significant moment in how the world uses digital symbols to process collective trauma. In this context, these images function as 'memes' in the academic sense—ideas and symbols that spread rapidly through a culture to convey shared emotion and unity.
