Stack overflow and github are the only ones that feel out of place there.
- falcolas 4y agoStack overflow and GitHub both allow you to make public posts and interact with others. The text targets public user posts and interactions between users explicitly. Whether the consequences are intentional or not is still to be determined.
- ask_b123 4y agobut are they made available by a "social media company"? and should that be relevant?
- falcolas 4y agoWell, here’s their definition of such a company (from the same link): 155 (9) "Social media company" means a person or entity that: 156 (a) provides a social media platform that has at least 5,000,000 account holders 157 worldwide; and 158 (b) is an interactive computer service. So, size is really the only relevant discriminator.

[0] if, in the first instance, it is Constitutional at all.
