“This house believes social media does more harm than good
You've dodged the actual debate by hiding behind vague harm metrics. "More harm than good" requires you to quantify suffering, and you haven't. Social media connects 5 billion people, enables business for millions, and democratizes information access. Yes, it has downsides, but you're comparing abstract "harm" against concrete, measurable global benefits. A teenager's anxiety spike isn't equivalent to a farmer in Bangladesh accessing crop prices in real time. Your motion collapses the moment you try to weigh specific harms against specific goods. Which harm outweighs what benefit? Name it.
