Put another way, when I describe students are treating social media as "causal," I'm describing a phenomena where students REMOVE or IGNORE the role the user plays in how social media effects society. That is, they refuse to acknowledge the continuity of user and platform.

I'm describing a phenomena where social media is the culprit in our social ills, a malicious phenomena that has made possible a variety of crises, rather than persons making possible a crisis through the platform.
