Take someone who moved somewhere new and doesn't know anyone; social media can be the easiest way to find groups and stay in touch with people far away. That seems like real good to me, even if it can obviously get messy. I'm not sure how to weigh the bad parts, honestly.

Ask yourself this: compared to what? My opponent points to real harms, and sure, they exist. But the debate isn't whether there's any harm, it's net harm versus the realistic alternative. Strip social media away and someone new in town, a shut-in, or a scattered family loses cheap access to connection and information, while the harms don't vanish; they just move elsewhere. The other side is measuring bad outcomes in isolation, not against the baseline. Until they show the replacement is better on balance, "more harm than good" is an assumption, not a conclusion.
