Worth mentioning that their summary measure of well-being is more comprehensive than what's typically asked of adults and probably does correlate with learning and development:

"Data from 19,957 telephone interviews with parents of 2‐ to 5‐year‐olds assessed their children's digital screen use and psychological well‐being in terms of caregiver attachment, resilience, curiosity, and positive affect in the past month."

Still plenty to quibble with in the study though.

Thanks for posting. I looked at the methodology, which, as you point out, was solely caregiver questionnaires, and anyone who took from that methodology that "Studies shoot down tech's harmful effect on kids" is either an idiot or being willfully misleading.
You could just go to that site and experience the "infinite scrolling" to figure out that this is "information" meant for fools.
