And it’s not clear that social networking has displaced any workers at all (except, I suppose, in the sense that browsing Facebook is a general substitute for other non-free leisure activities).

It seems to me that the bigger effect is not in industries that have appeared only after 2000, but in those where the displacement has been gradual but inexorable and is still ongoing (e.g. the newspaper and magazine industries).
