Recent studies have shown teens are more susceptible than adults. It’s a problem researchers, teachers and parents are only beginning to understand.

They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?::Recent studies have shown teens are more susceptible than adults. It’s a problem researchers, teachers and parents are only beginning to understand.

    My experience as a parent:

    It has nothing to do with education. It had nothing to do with knowledge.

    It has everything to do with trust. They trust youtube/insta/Tiktok. They trust the influencers.

    This is nothing new or exclusive to kids. Don’t believe me? The antivax movement. You know: “educate yourself.” That. Grownups are not immune.

    This is nothing new.
