In an interview on The Vergecast, Gray states that Haidt's book overlooked dozens of meta-analyses and research finding no meaningful correlation between social media or smartphone use and teen mental health. Gray cites a Florida study showing 11–13-year-olds with smartphones were more likely to spend real-world time with friends, suggesting smartphone bans could backfire.

“You take a smartphone away from your kids and that study suggests you'll make them less happy and they'll have less friends.”
