According to information from Reuters, Meta replaced its own research regarding the negative impact of Facebook on users' mental health after launching a project called Project Mercury in 2020. As part of this study, participants were asked to temporarily refrain from using the social network.

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.
