Good advice from Pediatrics report but is there really such a thing as Facebook Depression?

The American Academy of Pediatrics is out with its Clinical Report—The Impact of Social Media on Children, Adolescents, and Families that has some great advice for parents about how to raise kids in the age of social media, but it also makes the claim that Facebook causes depression.  Here is my analysis of the report from CNET News as well as podcast interviews with the report’s lead author and a researcher cited in the report who says that her research does not point to “Facebook depression.”

Listen to Larry Magid’s CBS News & CNET Tech Talk one-minute Radio segment on the report
