The assumption you are making is that TV is not bad at all. Is social media like TV, but worse? I think that is the question. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6198586/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6198586/ "Cultivation theory proposes that those who spend more time “living” in the virtual world of television may perceive the “real world” as per the imagery, principles, and portrayals depicted on the small screen. People who spend a lot of time watching television are likely to assume a television worldview of mental illness." And https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32713607/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32713607/ "TV time is associated with numerous adverse health outcomes. Future guidelines could suggest limiting TV time to less than 2 hours per day to reduce most of the associated adverse health events."
