"Among the many narratives making the rounds these days about how
terrible the internet and social media apparently are, one popular trope
is the idea that using social media makes people depressed. Just last
year there was a study purporting to show that limiting your social
media use could limit depression. But that study was conducted by an
undergrad at UPenn, based on just 143 other UPenn students. Not exactly
the most rigorous of studies. A much more thorough, careful, and
methodologically sound study was just released finding little impact on
“adolescent life satisfaction” from using social media."
