Thank you for checking it out. This "Facebook causes depression (studies show!)" meme is being repeated left and right, even on HN, and it's kind of annoying at this point.
Reminds me of the "Diet Coke causes depression" over depressed people could be more likely to drink diet coke.
Kudos to you for fact-checking!
