    I think there’s definitely some merit to the idea that mental health in general is the problem, not necessarily just social media. We’ve become much more aware of and better at diagnosing all sorts of mental illnesses, but at the same time we’ve done practically nothing to make mental health care accessible. There’s a lot of not-so-good things about social media. Forcing teenagers to hand over personally identifying information to companies who are well known to abuse that data is probably not a good solution.
