It's a word game. By calling it a court, legitimacy is implied. Most personalized TV channels are called "social media" even though they're really "personal TV" because the former sounds like it connects you with your friends. The NSA isn't a "surveillance state", it's "intelligence gathering". It's not a war, it's a special military operation. And so on.

This is clearly untrue; they're called "social media" because they developed inside other things that were already called "social media".
Then Netflix is a DVD rental?
If you think really, really hard, maybe you'll be able to get your arrows the right way around.
