It’s popular to think social media harms teens. There is no data to support this. But study after study shows it’s not true.
The head of Common Sense Media, which as a parent I used to think was a useful resource, is pushing nonstop falsehoods and gut feelings on this topic, in support of a dangerous California ballot initiative.
Where California goes on this, much of the western world follows. It’s worthwhile being aware of the facts on this.
