Honestly my concern is moreso what this means for how much exposure kids have to this social media. This is really concerning, they shouldn't be on any social media for this long.
Aaaand now I feel like a boomer complaining about phones. For their sakes, I hope I'm just out of touch.
The problem is the Boomers were actually right about the "phones", but they also succumbed to it and are just as addicted as everyone else now. It's not just news either. People are shifting views massively on mental health through social media sharing with people who are either nefariously sharing damaging content, or are doing so unknowingly. I see that one as a possibly larger issue in the long term than even the news one.
