It’s so strange how people just assume that “social media” is “bad” because that confirms their pre-conceived biases. People are even promoting that the state violently control “social media”.
Sometimes it’s helpful to look at the actual science which is extremely inconclusive.
Looks like they were tracking self reported data, combining both social media and gaming. No wonder they didn’t see anything.
Yeah, the inclusion of gaming made me think the data was tainted.
