According to the research data, from February to May, more than 1,500 young people from 14 to 24 years old answered questions of sociologists and analyzed various situations in which social networks could somehow affect their well-being.
The five most popular social networks were analyzed, among which YouTube was rated as a platform that does not harm mental health.
On the second place was Twitter, followed by Facebook, on Snapchat. And the last place - for Instagram.
According to the results of the survey, Instagram was named one that causes irritation and depression, and also becomes a platform for bullying.
In addition, British scientists do not recommend spending more than two hours a day on social networks, as this encourages people to compare themselves with others and gives a sense of self-rejection.
Recall, as previously reported in the "URA-Inform", the Ukrainian cyberpolicy has already managed to create some recommendations for those enterprises to block Internet resources.
