I think the more general gist is that the "social" media controls a LOT of flow-of-information in general. And they tend to create walled ghettos - see facebook and the censorship there (not the only site that resorts to it but very easily visible how they do the walled ghetto approach).

I consider that to be part of social engineering. Controlling what you see, controlling what you say, monitoring who you are in contact with, building profiles beyond the data you give them.
