I think anonymous social media, while still social media, occupies a very different category from non-anonymous (identified?) social media. And the default interpretation of "social media" is the latter.
That'd make Twitter not social media for people not using their actual names.
The tougher requirement of people using their name would leave very few social medias. Basically just LinkedIn and Facebook, with Twitter and others that have usernames but also named people being in the grey area.
Any media can be anonymous.
