The debate around the "dangers of social media" is such a visceral topic. So many people are talking about how social media is damaging youth, how kids are getting "corrupted" by it, and even how it's tearing down our democracy.

I have some pretty controversial opinions about this. A concerned mother of teenage boys named Michelle asked a question about the dangers of social media and how it impacts young people. Her question was specifically about my thoughts on kids using Snapchat, but my answer applies to social media in general.
