> Zuck is an outright liar. There are now mountains of exceptionally good research showing a solid causal link between social media use and negative mental health impacts on young people (no, I will not google that for you, please do your own homework).
what is the point of the statement if you call someone a liar, claim that there exists material to prove the lie and then say, that you will not link to this material?.
Obviously you won't be able to refute what I said, because there are
no papers out there that show there isn't a causal link between
social media use and harms to mental health. That would be asking the
impossible. But there is a massive and no longer ignorable body of
work out there saying indeed there are direct causal links between
social media use and mental harms. And Zuck just pretended that
doesn't exist.
You know, I was actually hoping someone smarter and with more time
than me would come back with something I'd missed.
Mark Zuckerberg stood up in front of a room full of grieving mothers
and gave a limp, fake apology that made them burst into tears. His
sheer lack of humanity and emotional disconnect with other humans
could hardly be clearer.

"The existing body of scientific work has not shown a causal link
between using social media and young people having worse mental
health," Zuckerberg told the crowded room.
Lori Schott, a bereaved mother from Colorado, said she cried when
she heard Zuckerberg’s comments.

Those mums showed up to the hearing with photos of their dead kids who
had killed themselves as a direct result of using social media.
My point is less emotional. Given the preponderance of evidence
against Zickerbergs comments, he lied.
So, above I said that means Mark Zuckerberg just lied to congress and
that makes him a criminal in the US right? Whether under oath or not.
That's why I was downvoted. Nothing to do with encouraging you to do a
simple search, which you could have done in the time it took you to
write a snarky reply.
