What criteria define social media that's ban-worthy for you? Does it require the combination of user-generated content and a personalized algorithmic feed which characterizes modern corporate social media, or do you extend it to a broader range of ways people can interact over the internet?
I'm not a lawyer, and therefore I am not qualified to make that kind of definition.
I'm not asking for a legal definition. This is Hacker News; in looking for a definition that would enable hackers to correctly classify things most of the time.
I think there is probably some combination of the following aspects:
-Content is user-generated -Content is curated by the company (i.e., users don't have the ability to fully turn off what is shown to them) -Content is not universal (i.e., users don't see the same thing)
