But it’s news about tech.
It is not
It’s about a website that is on the internet that runs on technology
Electrons go zoomy through the internets
Tubes or something like that
And by your swiss cheese logic, everything we do these days is tech news.
It's a common fallacy that drops community quality like a rock.
It's like programming horror being flooded with things that aren't even marginally related to programming. But since technically all our technology is programmed, then it's technically programming related.
Well now all I can think of is cheese while I’m on a technology community. My day is ruined.

Production of cheese is a technology, so...
Are you seriously trying to argue that social media is not technology?
No, they are arguing that everything is technically technology. So we should turn this community into a basket weaving forum.
I call the underwater basket weaving sub community
But what is the "everything" being discussed? A Tech CEO's decisions and changes over a social media platform, which is a widely used technology. Nevermind the business aspects that exist everywhere, is it even reasonable to talk of social media, technology dedicated towards social connections, without addressing the social aspects involved?
Why don't we have articles about Burger King then? They have a website on the Internet that runs on technology.
