On young people and social media

 TechDirt entitles this "Two Major Studies, 125,000 Kids: The Social Media Panic Doesn’t Hold Up from the yet-more-evidence-that-haidt-is-wrong dept"

 We’ve covered study after study showing that the relationship between social media and teen mental health is complicated, context-dependent, and nowhere near as clear-cut as Haidt’s “The Anxious Generation” would have you believe. As we’ve noted before, correlation is not causation, and the timing of teen mental health declines doesn’t actually line up neatly with smartphone adoption the way the narrative claims.

I look forward to the day that we stop making policy based on Haidt's fearmongering.
