Sri Lanka Social Media Ban

After the devastating attacks in Sri Lanka the government issued a ban on most social media platforms (especially Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp, and Viber).  As American Citizens that firmly believe in First Amendment rights, this may be concerning because of the ban's infringement upon what we feel is a basic right.  Well in this case the Sri Lankan Government had a just reason to impose this ban.  That reason was to protect the Muslim citizens in the country and prevent or reduce the spread of disinformation about the attacks.  It was found that people were using social media in order to incite violence against Muslims and spread anti-Islamic propaganda.  There may have been better ways to prevent these things from happening, although the social media ban is not entirely unethical or unwarranted in this situation.
