The protests began in opposition to a ban on more than two dozen social media platforms that was imposed last week, but they have since expanded to include general frustration with corruption.

Okay, so banning social media makes people torch the parliament and their corrupt politicians homes. Good to know, that this is what it takes.

Banning social media put people in the street. It was the murder of protesters that lit the torch.

Cops killed 19 protesters protesting the ban. That's actually what it takes....

No that's not at all why they were protesting, that's just only what the media is reframing it as. They tossed their monarchy and decided they'd have a two party system, what could go wrong, the two parties decided to join as a coalition, so only one party, and then went absolutely mad with power enriching themselves and cutting all vital services to and for the people and they were ramping up the evil, by the day. The people said fk that, you're going down, en masse. Not about social media at all. You don't hear what's really going on in places, from the news, they tell you what serves their billionaire owners agenda.

They banned social media so they protested in person and got shot. That's why.
