dc.description.abstractThere are currently over 4.2 million internet users in Sri Lanka � close to 20% of the population � the highest penetration in the South Asian region1. Social Media usage has also risen, with over 1.5 million facebook profiles being accessed from Sri Lanka2. The boom of Social Media in Sri Lanka coincided with two inter-related events � The final years of the Eelam War, and the rise of Sinhalese-Buddhist supremacist groups such as the Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) within the subsequent postwar period.en_US
