Have there been any studies demonstrating definitively that increased social media usage causes the brain to shrink? It seems that the studies I've seen all only demonstrate a correlation between the two, which personally reads to me as though researchers haven't considered that the inverse of this popular hypothesis might also be possible; Social media users with various cognitive difficulties may be more easily victimized by these sites designed to lure you in and keep you engaged as much as possible.

I definitely saw someone post a sceptical thread on one of those studies.. it might have been @Infoseepage ?
