Have you looked for these studies? Are you an expert on this corner of the literature?
There have been studies and they do show that internet socialization has an effect on a variety of relevant measurements. To summarize, Internet socialization is not equivalent to face-to-face socialization but it does provide some of the benefits and is also able to provide benefits that face-to-face cannot provide.
I find it strange how people such as yourself will make statements about the literature as if your opinion had value. Your opinion about the literature is only valuable if you have studied the literature. If you have not, then you should remain silent if you want to be a valuable contributor.

To be perfectly honest, I find your behaviour more interesting than the actual topic. Why do people who have clearly not exhaustively studied a particular field put forth their own ignorance as an argument in their favor? "I'm an evangelical Christian who has never gone to university and I've never seen any evidence of evolution. My ignorance is a strong argument against evolution! I am going to use my ignorance as a bludgeon in this debate and make everyone else do all the work of digging up citations, which I won't read anyway." Am I wrong in thinking this is a uniquely American form of entitled debating style? "Everyone has the right to spread their ignorant opinion" or something?

You have no idea what you're talking about. >Why do people who have clearly not exhaustively studied a particular field put forth their own ignorance as an argument in their favor? Oh, the irony. It burns!
