Interesting logic to think through.

What level of “harm” triggers the law?
Am I harming you if I make an online store and you browse it too much? How do I know what too much is? How much browsing of a social network is too much?
I don’t understand how you think this is all crystal clear :)

Social media may have its problems, but these terrible comparison to drugs is silly. It is not going convince anyone but those who already don't like social media.
It’s similar to the superstimulus effect in junk food. The stuff is designed to hijack your instincts without providing much in return. We think we get more value out of social media (or a bag of chips) than we actually do because it’s purposefully designed to make us feel that way.
Facebook has an easier time doing studies, but companies have spent decades trialing different ads, marketing campaigns, sales pitches, etc.
Another way of phrasing what you've said is that we should prevent companies from building products that people really like and want to use. No one is forcing anyone to use Facebook.
