The problem is social media use is so normalized, by not having a presence you are setting yourself up to be an outlier and a riskier candidate.

3 links. One is pure opinion saying social media is important, another saying it's not, and one is a survey saying that having social media can help or hurt your application, which explicitly contradicts it's own reporting. That adds up to nothing.
Not that I have the luxury, but sounds good to me. A company that doesn't expect a social-media presence is a company I'd rather work for.
