"As governments worldwide move to restrict teenagers’ access to smartphones and
social media, a fierce scientific debate has erupted over whether these digital
technologies actually harm young people’s mental health.
The controversy, sparked by an influential recent book blaming phones for

even as policymakers from Arkansas to Australia forge ahead with sweeping bans
and restrictions."
