Part of Jonathan Reid Surovell's argument is to talk about how your social media use negatively affects your friends by supporting their bad habits. He appeals to the idea that "we shouldn't, without good reason, do things that are bad for our friends." You might worry that this argument will generalize (maybe it's wrong to go out for ice cream with the friend who needs to cut back on sugar, or to waste time with a friend on the weekend if she is falling behind in her classes). Do you think that Surovell's argument extends to condemn other behaviors we are usually fine with? If so, does that make you worry about Surovell's argument? If not, why not?
