Facebook has released new research suggesting social media can harm mental health when used in certain ways. The research is discussed in an online report titled “Hard Questions: Is Spending Time on Social Media Bad for Us?” Facebook’s director of research, David Ginsberg, wrote the report along with social psychologist Moira Burke. The two cooperated with psychology and sociology experts and mental health professionals. Several studies were used to support the findings. Facebook said research suggested that social media users who spent a lot of time only reading information but not interacting with others reported feeling worse afterward. Users who had interaction during the experience reported having better feelings.
