“There’s no reason to think Facebook is a “positive force” and a lot of reasons to think the opposite.
“”Using less social media…leads to significant decreases in both depression and loneliness” [says a recent University of Pennsylvania study]. “The use of Facebook was negatively associated with overall well-being”, two other researchers wrote in 2017.”
This recently was reported by ArsTechnica.*
These are among several reasons I avoid social media. I prefer my own blog.
Problem is…nobody reads my blog!
