I think this is a bad faith reading of the quote. Sure the author could have been more precise, but I think most fair readings would admit that the article is making a specific claim about the broad swath of photos distributed over channels like instagram as a participatory act in the medium, posted for many to consume, not e.g. family photos that are shared with specific people. The rest of the article pretty clearly establishes this framing.
