Every European you meet on social media is necessarily the subset of Europeans who adopted social media. A subset of the population adopting a subset of the stuff doesn't mean adoption in general is as universal as you might assume.

e.g. podcast I was listening to the other day had a German complaining about their bank, after the bank suggested they send a fax.
