Also to actually answer your post, social media empowers everyone, that is why everyone threatens, because they know how powerful their reach can be!
Your situation is different. From the sounds of it, you were supplied with a part that was advertised as compatible but wasn't, either due to misinformation on the product specs, or through an error in manufacturing. It would be different if you bought said part, it was as advertised and you simply didn't know what to do with it.

In regards to social media though, I can see how it might possibly act as an enabler to make people think they can threaten others due to their own stupidity; but if people think that it'll somehow get them the results they demand, do they not consider that it works both ways?
