    Dear #American journalists: For the love of whatever you hold holy, stop twisting this incident to serve your anti-Facebook technovalley politics. Right now, in a country with tight government controls on trad media, social media is a boon for us. #lka

        And make an effort to understand; violence in #lka began before social media, Internet, telephony. To a large extent much of race hatred is still fuelled by print media in this country. You want to point fingers, at least do your research into a complex history.

        Take a look at statements by local politicians, see how they are reacting. Look up the patterns of violence around elections, race issues, politics. Leave your biases and baggage at the door.

        Keep in mind that some of the voices you will hear pontificating are not from #lka, and have not been for decades, and understand the zeitgeist about as much as my cat understands Twitter. Look for local journalists on the #lka tag.

        Whether you like it or not the overwhelming mindshare your platforms have enable you to set the global narrative around Sri Lanka...so do your job and be responsible. Thank you.

        Thanks so much for this, @yudhanjaya. Extremely important to approach this with nuance & avoid advocating for extreme solutions lest they percolate further. My recent paper shows shutdowns actually exacerbate violence in India. You might find it useful. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3330413 …

        Thanks, Jan. In return, something you may be interested in: http://yudhanjaya.com/research . Let me know if you start digging i to Indian social media (after this mess is over).
