The product itself (the code) may be considered tech but the company's/employee's/executive's business/personal/anything outside of the product dealings shouldn't be. If running a website makes any information related to you tech related then literally every company is a tech company. Meta's stock price dropping because Zuckerbot farted in a kindergarten classroom isn't anything tech related. Subscription fees being added or increased isn't tech related.
How would you define tech with regards to social media and how does that definition not include any other company running a website that you can interact with?
Didn't he replied to you with:
Or what you are expecting to get? Just say it yourself already and stop asking to people...
But he replied...
I said the code is the tech and then gave examples of what isn't tech. What else do you want? The dictionary definition is
which points even further away from social media being tech IMO.
The irony here. You've made zero argument other than "not uh!" and expect me to keep repeating what I've already stated in good faith. I focused on social media companies because that's what you had an issue with. Nobody disputes whether companies like Microsoft, SpaceX, Intel, and Apple are tech companies. The dispute here is whether Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, etc are really tech companies and more specifically whether any news surrounding these companies should be considered tech news (which you've already been given examples of) rather than just news about their actual tech products.
Nobody stated that.
Once again I'll ask you to define what you think social media companies are and how that definition doesn't include every other company with a web presence. Are you or are you not able to do that?
Still can't form an actual argument? What seems to be the issue here? You seemed to have such strong convictions in your point of view earlier.
