A website is a social construct because it can only function by the agreement of everyone involved (i.e., we all agree on how to parse HTML).

The individual site may be constructed individually (maybe) but it can only work if the society of people-who-use-the-internet all agree to follow a series of conventions about how websites work; you can't start using \<soul\> instead of \<body\> and expect everything to work as normal, because the reason the \<body\> tag is used to define the body of a page is because we needed a way to make sure people can use a webpage without having to define an entire new language for each one.



Sure but that's as useful as saying shit is social construct because we as humans decided to name it that. Technically true, practically it's vapid useless speech that doesn't bring anything useful to the discussion aside from person using the term feeling smart


Shit is not a social construct. A human being can produce shit without the cooperation of any other human, no matter what language that human uses to describe it. Bathrooms are a social construct; we had to all agree that it's not acceptable to shit in the sink.


Sounds like waffle


Hey mate, you need to try a web browser. I found my experience using the Internet greatly improved when I stopped trying to parse the html documents myself.
