The Cody Showdy had a relevant episode from Wednesday. Probably both more entertaining and informative.

Basically it’s the new moral panic. In the 70s and 80s it was satanic music corrupting the children. In the 80s and 90s it was TV. In the 90s and 00s it was video games. Now it’s being on the phone. Something teenagers NEVER used to do. And being SOCIAL gasp! That isn’t to say that there are no unique and negative impacts from the modern forms. Just that these moral panics are panics and rely on misrepresenting loose correlation with no clear causation.
