The study seems to say

1) kids with worse mental health use social media more (unhealthily)

2) parenting is (very) important

Ok. Sounds about right. There is still a negative correlation with social media and mental health. So not seeing how this one paper shows we shouldn’t reasonably restrict social media.

This is a conservative angle on the problem: it’s about individual choices (or individual innate fitness) not about dangerous products in society. Not sure why we should ignore the fact that people are profiting of these dangerous products. And that these are man made dangers made for profit, not wild animals that just exist in nature.
