All he did was reveal US' true face to the world.

Let's just hope that people won't be fooled by land of the free propaganda the next time a democrat is elected.

The US has always been a rougue state with complete disregard for the sovereignty of any other nation or the human rights of any other people. Trump at least is honest about the callousness of the US-led empire.

It might stop them from unleashing anticommunist terrorism all around Europe (e.g. gladio in Italy).

You should be careful taking the conclusions of single studies too seriously. Due to the methods underlying statistical significance testing, results from signal studies are highly unreliable and should be taken with a large grain of salt.

Additionally, the study you linked is not an intervention, therefore there is a high likelihood that unknown covariates had an impact on the observed group differences.

Of course, one's scepticism should be in proportion to an intervention's risk, and eating more fruit and vegetables seems, naively, quite low risk.

Also, something being observable at a neural level doesn't not make it permanent or genetically determined.

The science suggests that some features of social media function can harm some young people’s mental health. These include, but are not limited to, algorithmically driven distortions of reality exacerbating harmful content and disinformation, the distraction away from time that can otherwise be used in more healthy ways, and the creation of opportunities where youth can be abused or exploited. However, there are also several ways in which social media improve the lives of youth, including the creation of opportunities for community among more marginalized youth, and the opportunity for fun and joy for the vast majority of users.

Every generation parents engage in a moral panic to ban something because it is destroying the youth. You lot are doing the same and contributing to a movement that will harm everyone and eventually lead to the destruction of platforms like Lemmy.

Think twice before joining the like of those who, in past generations, wanted to ban videogames, pagers, comic books and even novels for young people. Did the harm ever materialise? Or are we just as fucked up as every generation before us.

Is it social media or is it the looming exiction event before us and the politicians that gleefully line their pockets with the profits of genocide and ecocide?

Please, I beg you, THINK before feuling a moral panic.

Liberal democracy reveals it's true face once more.

What a charade.

Stop partaking in moral panics... there is little to no evidence that social media or phone harm young people.

I'll definitely keep those perspectives in mind when reading. When will westerm Marxists stop dragging the USSR at any chance they get?

Maybe Canada? Since the US is clearly in Canada's sphere of influence.

Someone needs to take responsibility and liberate the US American people. These protests are clearly calling for regime change.
