As may here would be aware, last December, the Australian Government 
brought in Legislation to limit the access to "Social Media" for those 
under 16 years of age.

Whilst I doubt there were many under-16's using UseNet, I have heard 
some suggest that it is a "Social Media".

Facebook ... Sure!
X ... Sure!
Instagram .... Sure!
Youtube .... Some would suggest it is "Social Media", too.

... and there are probably others I can't think of or have Never heard of.

But is UseNet "Social Media"??
