Is there a causal link between social media and poor mental health?
I personally think that's a self-evident truth, but also amply
evidenced by scientific research. Have you read any research, such as
those collected here [0], or maybe more recent studies?
Mark Zuckerberg said to US Congress (and a room full of grieving
mothers):
"The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link
between using social media and young people having worse mental
health"
His advisors may have thought that was something they could get away
with, but did they not properly research and so misjudge that?
Did Zuck just effectively lie to Congress?

at this today, sorry.
