Nope, and they won't be one just because you're ignorant. A required element is that they transport people or goods and they don't. You can't be a common carrier if you don't carry. Another required element is that they charge a fee for such transportation and they don't charge anyone anything for that service.
Wrong.
Radio does not charge for transportation either, because it depends on advertising fees, but that does not make radio stations any less of a common carrier.
If social media is not a common carrier that transports, then how to posts from one person get viewed by another?
The people who created network packets are also transporting them, but since they are also the authors, are not common carriers.
