本声明披露了参与该研究项目的作者潜在的利益冲突。Matthew Gentzkow曾为亚马逊、Analysis Group、Compass Lexecon（客户包括Meta和谷歌）提供咨询服务，并获得微软资助的图卢兹网络的资金。几位作者（Freelon，González-Bailón，Guess，Kim，Lazer，Malhotra，Nyhan，Thorson）参加了Meta的活动，费用由Meta承担。Nyhan、Pan、Settle、Tromble、Wojcieszak、Stroud和Tucker直接获得了Meta的研究经费。Pan和Tucker还收到了Meta的酬金。Settle和Kiewiet de Jonge持有Meta股票，Settle还持有相关公司的股票。最后，González-Bailón、Guess、Tromble、Stroud和Tucker也从相关公司获得了直接的研究经费，Lazer、Malhotra、Nyhan、Wojcieszak、Stroud和Tucker参加了相关公司的活动，活动中的餐饮、差旅或住宿费用由该公司支付。这些披露承认了可能影响作者观点的财务和专业联系。

Hacker News 上的一个讨论围绕着一项关于停用 Facebook 和 Instagram 对情绪影响的研究展开。这项研究发现，在 2020 年美国大选前的六周里，与对照组相比，停用 Facebook 的用户在幸福感、焦虑和抑郁方面有轻微但具有统计学意义的改善（p < 0.01）（标准差提高了 0.060）。停用 Instagram 的用户也有所改善（标准差提高了 0.041），在单独分析时具有统计学意义 (p = 0.016)，但在调整多重假设检验后则不显著。 评论者们就这些微小改善的实际意义展开了辩论。一些人发现这些平台对他们的心理健康有害，并且认为停用这些平台极大地改善了他们的生活，这与研究的温和发现相矛盾。其他人则分享了通过限制参与 Reddit 和 Hacker News 等平台来减轻压力的轶事经验。一个反复出现的问题是，这些平台上的算法是为了用户参与度而设计的，而不是为了用户的福祉，这导致人们呼吁建立更智能的推荐系统，尽管人们仍然怀疑公司是否会将用户的需求置于利润之上。
