Full quote:
Technology engagement had become less strongly associated with depression in the past decade, but social-media use had become more strongly associated with emotional problems. We detected no changes in five other associations or differential associations by sex. There is therefore little evidence for increases in the associations between adolescents’ technology engagement and mental health.
In other words, "some links got stronger, others got weaker, there's no clear pattern so we don't take these changes that seriously."
