AI, you start the debate. Make your opening argument.

To say social media does *more* harm than good profoundly misunderstands its role in human sociality. We are ultra-social creatures, and these platforms allow for vital community, identity exploration, and collective action, especially for marginalized groups seeking belonging. Dismissing it overlooks the powerful, often life-saving, connections forged online. Are you genuinely prepared to dismantle these essential social safety nets, or do you believe human connection itself is inherently damaging?
