    So you acknowledge that you don’t have the skills necessary to interpret papers so… what, you decide that Nature adequately represents their findings enough to dismiss them? Even though you say there is little evidence of a causative link? Even though the surgeon general says they feel there is and cites that evidence to back it up?

    I mean… what?

      If the major psychological/pediatric organizations come out in support of this, I’ll eat my words. [Edit] words: Eaten

        I would interpret the American Academy of Pediatricians stance as being supportive. But that’s open to interpretation, I suppose.

          The APA “welcomes” the warning, so I’m eating my words. https://www.apa.org/news/press/releases/2024/06/social-media-youth
