3. It's not social media

It's people. The hate, distrust and misinformation on the Internet and even in our society, is on purpose.
It is meant to feed our worst impulses and cause us to lash out at those around us for the slightest offense.
Combined with untreated mental health issues and a unrelenting sense of helplessness and certain subgroups of people start to become dangerous.
Not to mention that dissent is now met with government retribution in some cases and escalation of that crackdown on dissent is growing.
When you even take away someone's voice, especially when they have already been pumped full of hate and conspiracies, violence is the likely and I have to believe the intended, outcome.

In short this was inevitable, intentional and likely not the last time. They, meaning this administration, have been priming the pump and they are relentlessly trying to engender conflict in the general population.
