Meta Study Found One Week Off Social Media Significantly Improves Mental Health

What was said

"There was a study and I think it was even run by Meta that if you spend a week off of social media platforms, your mood improves significantly. And that's true too if someone takes your device away. So, I guess like the first day you're freaking out, but then by the second or third day you're like, oh, this is actually kind of nice."

Yang revealed that Meta itself conducted research showing a one-week break from social media significantly improves mood, with withdrawal symptoms subsiding by day two or three. The finding underscores the addictive nature of platforms even as parent companies acknowledge psychological harm.
