A jury ruled today that YouTube is a harmful social media platform. But YouTube is not a social media platform.
YouTube is a streaming service. People put up original content, and other people can comment on that content.
I am confused. If a streaming service can be categorized as a social media platform, then pretty much anything could be categorized as a social media platform.
The World Wide Web itself is a place where some people put up original content, and where other people can comment on that content. The New York Times is also a place where people put up original content, and other people can comment on that content.
Does this mean that the World Wide Web and the New York Times should be classified as social media platforms? And if so, should they be sued for damages?
