Re: "if you don't want to be subject to these behaviors don't use social media"
This specific argument is weak, _and_ the form of the argument is weak. I suggest you look for better argumentation.
Your argument suggests that not 'using' social media frees a person from all of the effects of social media. That is oversimplified and untrue. It does not address the connectedness of people and culture, for one.
I'll use two examples to explain.
1. Your argument takes the same form as the following argument: "if you don't want to be run over by a drunk driver, don't drive". Tell that to a pedestrian who was killed by a drunk driver.
2. Social Media is not like Vegas. What you say on Social Media does not stay on Social Media. It has lots of spillover effects.
