> social impact is an express consideration of the law

It is, but in a very narrow sense. The fair use test is a part of the law, some of the factors it considers relate to social impact (for example allowance made for education), but it has no general ‘social impact’ criteria.

This is the only definition of “fair use” that Google will be arguing they comply with.
