The existence of a greater social ill doesn't preclude the existence of another. I tend to think the harm from social media is more related to negative externalities: i.e. political instability, loss of social cohesion, and the spread of misinformation. If the vector for those problems is something which is extremely habit forming to the point that people can't go two hours without engaging with it while in a healthy social environment, that doesn't seem like something to dismiss to me.
