Organic in the sense of how it's used in the industry. Google's search algorithm is set by Google but when talking about the search results people tend to differ between "organic" and paid.

The difference here is that "organic" is considered Google's and Facebook's best attempt to show their user what is most relavent to them. Some speculate that both companies are modifying these results to optimize paid results but there is no smoking gun that is true.
