Sorry, pfdietz, but I'm not responsible for proving to you that the Holocaust happened, Sirhan Sirhan killed RFK, tobacco is harmful, or diabetes is related to the pancreas. Or that social media is harmful to children.

And "classic crank behavior" describes you.

Goodness, now you're trying to equate me with holocaust deniers. The Holocaust, in case you didn't realize, has ample documentary evidence online that one can point to. Where is the equivalent for your position?

Anyway, great invocation of Godwin's Law there. You have lost. I remind you of the First Rule of Holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

> You have lost

You are not THE judge of that, nor in fact are you ANY judge.

And I did not compare you to Hitler; I simply said that some facts do not merit the whiny question, "oh, do you have a link for that?" The debate about social media has already happened, and you're the one who lost.

If you want some links, as it appears you do, just go to scholar.google.com and search "social media harms." It says "About 1,390,000 results." (that doesn't mean you would get that many if you kept scrolling, of course)

Edit: we're done here. Have the last word if that's important to you.
