Science misinterpreted again - this time by Australian govt to justify teen social media bans. Our work shows responses to social media vary individually. We never advocated for blanket bans. Happy to engage with MPs on evidence-based policy. Let's get this right!

The communications minister cited a study in support of a teen social media ban. Its co-author disagrees
University of Oxford professor Andrew Przybylski says the government has 'misunderstood the purpose and findings of our research'.

I've said this often: the discourse around smartphones/social media for young people is 99% dictated by 'concerned parents' agreeing with other 'concerned parents' about how their 'concerns' are valid, and thus something must be done!
That's not how anything should work, but hey ho, I guess
