Also, based on little information I can find about this 'study' (which isn't linked to, conveniently), it's based on a self-reported survey. Not sure how they arrived at 'a 10 point drop in IQ' from the information that provided. If IQ were even a useful metric here. Which it likely isn't.

1. Brain rot was portended almost 20 years ago when scientists studied the effects of a new invention called “email”, specifically the impact a relentless barrage of information would have on participants’ brains. The results? Constant cognitive overload had a more negative effect than taking cannabis, with IQs of participants dropping an average of 10 points.
