@erosalie @c_9 I discuss some of those in the post, but most of the research shows no *causal* link, and the few that show correlational links have evidence that the correlation is the other way (i.e., those facing other problems end up spending more time on social media...).

None of that's to say we shouldn't look for ways to help those in need, but to challenge the premise that social media is INHERENTLY harmful to kids, which is the theory behind the initiative.
