The biggest social media company literally blamed the "media narrative" for an internal study that showed exposure to Facebook could be damaging users' mental health.
In 2019 Meta did causal research looking at the effects of randomly asking Facebook users to stop using the platform for a month. After the first week of the study, results showed that leaving the platform was good for people’s mental health.
Meta then shut the project down.
