Phone-free school advocates now push for computer bans too—despite new research showing no clear mental health benefits from restrictive tech policies alone.

Sweden isn’t banning tech in schools—it’s balancing traditional learning with digital tools, especially in early grades, not eliminating screens entirely.

Digital chats aren't killing social skills—they're evolving them. Youth balance online and offline talk, building new ways to connect and express themselves.

The claim that screen time directly causes teen suicide is false; global data shows teen suicide rates are declining, and the issue is multifactorial.

We must base youth tech policy on solid evidence, not fear or weak data. Risks exist, but overreaction can distract from real issues like poverty or mental health.

Evidence shows school phone bans don't improve well-being. Balanced policies, not outright bans, better support student safety, learning, and mental health.

Dopamine isn’t digital heroin—online behavior is complex, and problematic use isn’t the same as addiction; evidence calls for balance, not fear.
