Are we, as a field, comfortable using "addiction" as a term to describe purely behavioral/non-chemical patterns? Admittedly this is not my area, but I was under the impression that we have yet to really codify any official diagnosis for a "behavioral addiction." I know we have some compulsive/impulsive disorders (e.g., gambling disorder, etc.), but I thought that referring to them as addictions was a subject of intense controversy. Could be wrong--like I said, not my area. Even so, I still think much of the current discourse around supposed "addictions" like "internet/social media addiction" and "porn addiction" are mostly attributable to moral/public health panics than to actual behaviors that warrant those labels. It's easy to point to social media as a scapegoat for more fundamental problems. Clearly there are some people who lie further down the "problematic usage" spectrum than others, but I think it's hyperbolic to go into epidemic mode. And don't even get me started on the manosphere/toxic masculinity spheres perpetuating stigma and shame driving the current online discourse on "porn addiction" and the need to go "nofap" to dopamine detox and improve your sex life/be more manly/preserve testosterone. Pretty sure the literature is strongly in favor of self-reported porn addiction being almost entirely explained by subjective guilt and shame tied to moral objections to porn rather than measurably problematic behaviors. I have no horse in the race either way--I do not care what people do or do not consume in their private lives, as long as it is consensual--I just don't like pseudoscience haha.
