Rather far fetched definition. With that every phone call, text, conversation is basically social media. All of those can be recorded and shared publicly. There is a difference between the whole world with Facebook, or just two carefully chosen recipients with either a phone call, text, whatsapp message, or even snail mail. Of course, the Whatsapp status is quite different, as anybody who has your phone number in their contacts can read that.
