Have you been following the debate about social media and mental health and are you now convinced that there's enough, good data showing it's bad effects especially for young people?

I have, and I'm convinced that the combination of smart phones (thought deletion devices) and social media is bad for young people, or at least some portion of them. Probably a net negative for all of us. I think Jonathan Haidt has made a compelling case at https://www.afterbabel.com/

Yeah I follow Dr Haidt's work and know that he is at the forefront of the debate.
