The noun is *social* (short for *social network*), not *sociali*.

While *dappertutto* is correct, beginners sometimes replace it with *tutto* which changes the meaning.

Cultural Tip
In Italian, *social* is treated as a masculine plural noun, so the preposition contracts to *sui*. You can also say *i social network* for a more formal tone. *Dappertutto* adds a punchy, informal flair; *ovunque* works in more neutral contexts.
