"Social media" is such a broad term though. It'd be interesting to see this broken down
- "Social media" with your real identity having an online presence (this seems to have the most harm, especially to girls)
- "Traditional internet": Anonymous / pseudonymous things like forums, gaming, comment sections etc.
- "Parasocial media" (comparing self to, or obsessively following, the output of professional influencers / advertisers / performers)
There's also the "cult" aspect of a lot of online communities that can alienate a person from real life. This can be bad for young people.
