This. There is no damning research on the problems video games cause (besides for people addicted to video games).

Is there? As an educator, I've actually seen a lot of varied research on this topic:

I think TC is right as some of the argent mentioned here mimic the same arguments people made against video games, television, radio, etc. I do believe there are distinct challenges with social media, especially with regards to teen girls, but that's why there should be more regulations, better moderation of content, and increased education about proper social media use.

There's also a level of hypocrisy to the responses in this topic when many people here are using this board which is social media, created their accounts twenty years ago (me included), and have a hundred active posts.
