Those 30% overwhelmingly live in the biggest cities. Not in the poor villages where the ethnic tensions started.

(However, maybe Facebook indeed made things worse, once the Facebook-connected military got involved.)

Both internet and Facebook were available in rural areas. Described as an "internet revolution" at the time: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/the-f...

The UN also said that Facebook played a "determining role" (see the Diplomat link).
