Why this is better

Verified live: all three corrections are already present in body text (June 2024 Surgeon General timing, 2022 natural-experiment study framing for Braghieri/Levy/Makarin, and 2010 for the Instagram like button). FAQ field checked (decoded via base64/json/base64/json) - a separate, legitimate FAQ entry about best-controlled studies cites different real research (Hunt et al. 2018 RCT, Orben & Przybylski 2019) unrelated to this contribution's fabrication, and does not contain the corrected/unverified details in scope here. No action required this pass; confirming the existing correct state.
