No research has been able to determine causality, and the evidence directly linking social media use to depression and anxiety is fairly weak. Researchers suggest the link could be bidirectional, or even the opposite: that poor mental health among young people, caused by other factors, could be driving problematic social media use instead.

Guter Hörbeitrag zur Social-Media-Debatte im DLF:
Es wird differenziert diskutiert, und statt nur auf den Aspekt der Altersbegrenzung zu fokussieren wird auch ausführlich über politische Plattform-Regulierung gesprochen. Besonders lobenswert und leider selten: Ein 17-Jähriger Kinderrechtler redet mit!
Mir gefällt ein Vergleich von Alexandra Geese (Grüne / EU), der den Punkt so viel besser trifft als die beliebten Alkohol-Vergleiche - sinngemäß:
Angenommen, Fruchtgummi-Hersteller würden anfangen, gefährliche Drogen in Fruchtgummis zu mischen und sie würden sich damit herausreden, dass jetzt halt Eltern und Schulen den Kindern Fruchtgummi-Kompetenz vermitteln müssten - dann würden wir die doch fragen, ob es hackt. Und wir würden auch nicht mit Alterskontrollen beim Fruchtgummikauf im Supermarkt reagieren, sondern wir würden diese Drogen in Fruchtgummis generell verbieten, auch für Erwachsene.
Chapeau!

From yesterday.
Lawyers made a confidential request to “shield Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s founder, CEO, and controlling shareholder, from the very same scrutiny that other witnesses have faced.”
Plaintiffs allege that the world’s fifth-richest person "turned a blind eye to rampant harm to teens caused by his apps in order to protect his profits."

The #paradox of #trust in #health care in the age of #SocialMedia
Health systems worldwide face two fundamental and connected challenges: pervasive #misinformation and #disinformation and eroding public trust. This erosion reveals a paradox at the heart of contemporary science–society relations: the more science succeeds in solving complex problems through rigour and institutional coordination, the more it alienates a public that values immediacy, authenticity, emotional resonance, and personal connection. Consequently, those most committed to scientific #rigour—scientists, health-care institutions, professional societies, and public health agencies—are increasingly distrusted, whereas those least #accountable—untrained influencers, unqualified individuals with financial motives or political agendas, and artificial intelligence bots—are deemed credible. This so-called trust paradox is amplified by #engagement-driven social media environments that reward disinformation, immediacy, group identity, and authenticity over factual truth. The consequences are harmful health outcomes and misguided policy decisions. Addressing this paradox requires not only technical accuracy but also co-production from the outset, overarching horizontal communication, infrastructures for transparency and emotional resonance, and regulatory reforms for algorithms and digital environments.
