    They should be banned as a form of illegal drug due to the harm they cause (same with a few other platforms like tik tok).

    While I think that social have a lot of benificial uses, the way most of them are implemented are anti-human in nature, and are the cause of a lot of mental health issues for those under 30, and especially for teens. Just look at suicide rates for teens over the last decade or two (especially among girls) and it’s hard not to see facebook as a force of ill and should not be allowed to be used in Canada, especially by the young.

        I’m very suspicious of this study. Not the least because it focuses solely on well-being. That’s just one facet of the social media picture even if it gets corroborated by other researchers.
