Smoking gives people cancer and heart disease at a pretty predictable rate. Quite baffling to claim facebook/ig are even close to that unhealthy.

It's less baffling if you value mental health and physical health equally.
Internet social media are merely 15 years old. We just don’t know yet what kind of toxic and pathological consequences there might be. To use an analogy, places where people use social media intensively and the people themselves soak in certain digital „smell” which is tailling them afterwards.
