We let theology professors call themselves doctor. The definition of engineer is "a person who designs, builds, or maintains engines, machines, or public works." Are we arguing that software is not a machine or in the case of social media, a public work? Many machines and public works are privately owned at that. Further, there is regulation for software and engineers are held accountable to it.
