The style and quality on this research seems extremely similar to past research on teenage porn viewing, except that with social media usage it is teenage girls and with porn usage it is teenage boys. Correlation with negative traits are always minor and generally with the negative traits leading towards more viewing rather than the reverse.
Since politicians seems to like drafting laws and in other ways have a strong opinion here, it seems like those areas should get some more funding in order to really establish if there is a harmful effect and if so, how strong it is.
