I'm submitting this because it's important to understand how social media platforms are actually used, and how this can contribute to human death.

This isn't an isolated incidence - we've seen it in many other places too.


> how social media platforms are actually used

This is a social media platform, right?

As someone who had a white father in his family who was in post in this region, I know firsthand the deep hatred of the Tutsi ethnicity that there was among many colonizers at that time, most of them from Belgium and their legacy today through various moralizing NGOs.
