#2This article discusses correlational evidence. The basis for causation is speculative at best, and there is a long list of cofounding factors.
The side effects of attempting to bar social media usage by teens might further amplify the problem, driving them away from carefully moderated platforms.

The new tobacco industry...of decades ago. A long time ago we banned advertising smoking to children (or at least, tried to) but the beforetimes of that decision were rough. Kids commercials for smoking, toy cigarettes, etc. Facebook is actively marketing to youth today just like tobacco did decades ago, indeed.
It's a great analogy because it also works well for adults: we're free to use the product/service, we have our freedom! Even if it slowly (or quickly) kills us.

Moderation is actually the problem. The internet was a better place for everyone when it was just webrings, usenet, and goatse.

I certainly am calling Facebook and other mainstream social media more carefully moderated than off-the-beaten-path social networks which glorify anorexia, self-harm and other disorders.

The internet was a better place when it didn't have all those people that require moderation.
