By this definition it seems like every social media app, by virtue of it being different, is a monopoly of its own? Eg: Twitter is “Twitter” that is the problem.

I don't understand, are you saying something like "Oreo has a monopoly on being Oreos?" If so, that's a pretty naive and narrow conception. In other words, "no, that isn't the problem."
