       EFF isn't a research shop, but we can read the data. The reality is far more nuanced than those proposing social media bans claim. The research used to justify these sweeping measures is far from settled—and we shouldn't legislate as if it is. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/05/science-not-settled-how-weak-evidence-fueling-national-push-ban-social-media-youth

       @effThis remains my biggest disagreement with EFF. Social media as the general population knows it is bringing real world damage to people's lives. We absolutely need to do everything to get rid of the blanket bans and especially the age gating that destroys our privacy but ignoring the problems with social media to help fix another problem isn't exactly optimal.
