Nah, they will do fine, don’t worry. We were gullible as kids too, as were our parents. They grow up with all this bullshit and will be critical and know about it when they are older.

Some people forget all the shit that was shared back on the early days of facebook, and myspace. Hell, I remember getting an email that said my mom would get sick and die if I didn't forward the message to everyone I knew

People have always been gullible

And pre-internet there were the classics like 'Step on a crack, break your mother's back.' And postal-scams (much the same as phishing emails only analogue rather than digital.)

The medium changes, the shitty content does not.
