What if the media and the politicians threw a moral panic about kids and social media… and the actual experts didn’t come along? The American Psychological Association has put out a thoughtful, nua…
Classic case of “If the research doesn’t support your position, lie like a rug.”
What a shock that a moral panic of a new thing was wrong.
Like it was about table top games. And violent video games. And rock and roll. And comic books. And mass adoption of the television. And mass adoption of the radio. And mass adoption of newspaper.
Anytime someone says “this is the worst thing ever invented and it’s harming our youth” always assume it’s wrong until it’s proven otherwise. Otherwise we’d be much much worse off as a society.
