- zeroonetwothree 3y agoThe article you linked certainly doesn't use the words "cause" or "lifelong".
- iancmceachern 3y agoCorrect, I inferred those words. It would be difficult to prove that social media causes lifelong anything, because there social media hasn't been around long enough. It's like smoking. They used to say the same things. Smoking hasn't been proven to cause cancer, etc. Then over time the science got better, more data, and bam. It was proven. I believe this is similar. You don't. That's OK. Time will tell.
