I can't help worry about the power that social media has in such societies. All it takes is one fake [and convincing] social media post saying "Pete ripped out pages of the Quran and spat on them", and an angry mob will show up at Pete's neighbourhood ready to burn his house and family. I'd worry less if we didn't have precedents of Facebook inciting genocide.
