Just to give you a semblance of how ridiculous of a definition that is (in the current day and age where we’re stating the effects of social media on people’s lives); imagine that you walked up to someone and asked them what their address was, and they answered “Earth”. It’s such a wide ranging answer that conveys absolutely nothing. And now imagine that laws started to be passed stating that “anyone that uses earth must submit to blah blah blah”. People would be up in arms.

Social media is not forums. It is not blogs. It is not comment sections. It is not video streaming sites.

The internet was made up of those things long before social media came around. Stop calling the entire internet social media.
