So the Burmese government and military junta had nothing to do with the genocide. The local media, endemic discrimination, local warlords, international support, nor the people actually guiding and doing the genocide had any responsability. Was social media the cause for the 1994 genocide in Rwanda too?

As with cigarette seller, it was never in their best interest that their product cause cancer. But it does. In top of that they had evidence of it earlier than the public and chose to hide it. Facebook had many internal whisteblowers that the platform was used to shape the public opinion and facilitate the genocide and choose to do nothing.
