We obviously can't prove a counterfactual but I think it's entirely possible the legacy media would have just went with the "bird strike" theory and the real story of Russia shooting the plane down may never have been exposed without social media. Who knows but there's 0 doubt we were several days ahead of the legacy media on this one...
"Russian President Vladimir Putin apologized to Azerbaijan for the "tragic" downing of an Azerbaijan Airlines plane on Christmas Day, but he stopped short of saying Russia was responsible for the crash.
"Vladimir Putin apologized for the fact that the tragic incident occurred in Russian airspace and once again expressed his deep and sincere condolences to the families of the victims," the Kremlin said in a statement on Saturday. The apology came in a telephone call with Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev, it said." -Politico

In general I have little sympathy for cyclists who ride their bikes on roads & get hit as that's where the cars live.
In this case, I only have sympathy for the driver who's car was damaged...
