In that document, we also list nine quasi- experiments or natural experiments (as when high-speed internet arrives in different parts of a country at different times), eight of which found evidence of harm to mental health, especially for girls and women. (Odgers cited only the 9th one, which relies on a dataset that is made up of unreliable estimates that do not detect known rises in mental illness, as Zach showed here.) To give just one example: Arenas-Arroyo and colleagues (2022) looked at the links between the staggered rollout of broadband internet in Spain between 2007-2019 and hospital discharge diagnoses of behavioral and mental health cases of adolescents. They found a significant effect of the arrival of high-speed internet, but only among adolescent girls.

He’s making the same mistake again—failing to see people, especially women and girls, as having motives or agency. This is the long shadow of behaviourism’s black box.
Those who are sad or isolated often seek understanding and connection, and when that isn’t available in their immediate family or community, social media broadens their horizons.
Correlation is not causation.
