“Girls in virtual networks are subjected to hundreds of times more social comparison than girls had experienced for all of human evolution.

Their openness and willingness to share emotions with other girls espouses them to depression and other disorders. The twisted incentive structures of social media reward the most extreme presentations of symptoms.”
