No Ban on Social Media after Use in Riots

Initially, politicians considered restricting social media due to its alleged role in organizing violence. However, the government later decided against seeking additional powers to control these platforms, recognizing the impracticality and potential negative implications of such actions. Social media is seen as a tool for citizen empowerment rather than repression. Despite some individuals being charged for using social media to incite trouble, its overall impact during the riots was positive, aiding communication and cleanup efforts. A post-riots summit emphasized improving relations between social media companies and the police.
