    This would theoretically make a social media site a broadcaster.

    Not without a license allowing them to transmit radio and/or TV signals. Of which there would be no reason for Facebook to have.

    It might make them a news agency, but news agencies are not subject to broadcasting regulations. Only broadcasters are subject to broadcasting regulations. The CBC is a broadcaster. Facebook is not.
