Participants were measurably happier and less anxious.
But disappointingly, not by a huge margin:
Perhaps this is due to the fact a significant number of users switched to less harmful online platforms and didn’t stop using their phones.
Or perhaps there is actually something more sinister. My real concern with this study is the involvement of Meta.
We actually have evidence that Meta halted internal research about social media:
Would you study tobacco and have tobacco companies involved?
Would you study obesity and have Coca-Cola involved?
I don’t want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but could Meta actually bully/bribe Stanford in order to change the figures?
… can’t you put a google alert on that?
The revolution will not be televised.
Ai content and gossip aren’t exactly facts.
I distrust Google and the mainstream media. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they simply ally with the Trump Regime, and remain silent about ICE death squads seeking out Democrats or something along those lines.
