Meta Corporation has been accused of concealing information about the harm of social networks to mental health.
After just one week "without Facebook," many testers reported a decrease in levels of depression, anxiety, feelings of loneliness, and social pressure. However, shortly after these results were obtained, the study was halted, and the data was never published.
In response to allegations of withholding information, a company representative stated that the research was stopped due to identified methodological issues, as reported by Reuters.
