There is a growing scientific controversy about the negative impact of social media on teenagers mental health, and even adults. Social media companies deny these claims. Billions of dollars are at stake.

A study from the University of Pennsylvania found using social media increases depression and loneliness:

But a recent scientific study from Manchester University found that social media has no negative impact on mental health:

This contradicts another study from Harvard University that found a social media detox improves well-being and reduces anxiety:

What's your opinion on this matter?
