>It looks like grownups can disregard the fear-mongering about the ill effects of digital media on kids. A 2017 study in Child Development found “little or no support for harmful links between digital screen use and young people’s psychological well-being.”

Someone might come out of reading this article with the idea: "so, there's no harmful link between digital screen use and young people’s psychological well-being".

Whereas the full story is:

a) A random 2017 study said that.

b) We aren't shown the criticisms from other studies done later on this one (e.g. for its methodology, etc)

c) We aren't told that scientific papers have a huge reproducibility crisis

d) We aren't told that papers in soft-sciences like psychology have even worse crisis

e) We aren't told that what "well being" is fuzzy and depends on one's definition. The article implies that some PhDs doing a study can determine generally, and across cultures and worldviews, what "well being" is. Which would be very convenient, but hardly realistic -- instead they just take their culture's current biases for wellbeing as a universal default (or measure some trivial aspects of it, e.g. the kids don't end up having worse health stats).
