@jean_twenge Waiting for your "I told you so..." moment...

[Jean Twenge (author of 10 RULES, GENERATIONS) @jean_twenge]

This is weird: I've read all 209 pages of the leaked Facebook studies. One of the studies included 100,000 people. Another had 50,000. Yet they keep talking about the one with only 40. Seems like deliberate misdirection and undermining of the research they conducted themselves.

@rittmang I know! Isn’t that ironic. I guess they didn’t want us sharing their internal documents on their own site….

This is what we have been saying for years! Parents, schools, teens need to come together to adopt healthier societal norms around social media use.

[Tristan Harris @tristanharris]

WSJ also shared how FB *knows* Instagram's design drives a downward spiral in teen mental health– worse than Snapchat, TikTok.

Facebook is worse than Big Tobacco.
A single person can quit cigarettes.

Instagram *preys* on social exclusion.
Kids feel ostracized if they quit.

Researchers led by @jean_twenge published a survey of teens during the pandemic. Two simple strategies: 1) Prioritize the family and 2) Ensure more sleep. I share the new research from my perspective as a family doctor here: https://t.co/ty3k4m3FH4

Eating ice cream instead of eating cookies is still not a healthy diet! FB and IG should not be on the menu for kids. The problem isn’t just ads, the problem is the platform. @CommonSense @commercialfree @WSJ #TimeWellSpent #HandsFreeChildhood #NoInstaForKids #StopInstaForKids
