Many people believe disinformation spread on social media is a huge problem. Knowing this, is it really a good idea to give a CCP-controlled company direct access to the minds of our youngest generation?

We'd be at herd immunity. But alas, an uneducated opinion about the vaccine is equally as important as a scientists with decades of experience in the field. It is a strength, and weakness of freedom of speech. 2) And now imagine that a foreign government can pump misinformation about the mRNA vaccine (China and Russia have been documented to do so) and shape opinions on any topic. "A survey found that a quarter of adults 18-39 "definitely" won't get vaccinated." https://abcnews.go.com/Health/young-adult-vaccination-rate-lags-age-groups-cdc/story?id=78406341 https://abcnews.go.com/Health/young-adult-vaccination-rate-l...)
