520 |a Social media platforms define incentives for influencers through algorithmic manipulation of content promotion. In Sri Lanka, these incentives create complications for Buddhist monk influencers, who occupy a nationally specific nexus between religion, media, and government. Social media create new domains for religious communication without the protections afforded to Buddhism by state-controlled media, but the demands of influencer practice create hazards for monastic discipline. These observations are substantiated by examining a set of social media interactions between Buddhist monks and other influencers. A common outcome of these interactions is that non-Buddhists, Buddhist laity, and monks whose social media expressions are deemed by government authorities to be insufficiently orthodox face detention under religious protection laws.
