In the particular case of Sri Lanka there is the problem of periodical violence between religious groups. Buddhists against Muslims and Christians, mostly.
I think a temporary ban on social media is appropriate to mitigate such violence in the immediate aftermath of such a terrible attack.
Immediately after the right-wing terrorist attack in Norway people thought it was committed by Muslims. Some people began utilizing the attack to blame Muslim immigrants. Some incidents of violence and verbal attacks have been reported.
So, in the particular case of the Easter Sunday attacks in Sri Lanka, I'm not yet ready to judge the government action/inaction.
