"addictive" meh sure. But what about harmful?

Back in the drama around facebooks' internal studies a few months ago, AFAICT it was all hot air and very sad quality studies, I couldn't believe the hype.

Are there other better studies showing harm that haven't been publicized as much?

You don't think addiction brings harm? Do you have an addiction of your own?

addiction brings harm, but addiction's meaning has been muddied over the years. There are very few kids who would be taken off social media and legitimately suffer withdrawal symptoms due to lack of access.

That language is important when determining how to sue a company.
