you are not wrong - but that is changing. small data point - so the overall affect could be negligible - however, 6 years ago a youngster I was watching came home with digital literacy handouts and had teachings about internet hygene, non-trustworthy data sources, and more. since then, more than once a year we use news stories to discuss false info, digital stalking, methods used to dox via photos, sextortion scams and more. we've spent time talking about checking multiple sources for information, especially health or sex info - and especially for any 'viral challenges'. So it won't be long before this next gen is adults that have been taught to look for these things, and I'm sure many have witnessed at least part of the shit show the parents have been going through yelling at their screens and each other about fake news and similar. Not sure that the apps are making it easier to check sources, but at least the teaching of the option is a thing much more so than I think most of 'the adults' of today had a chance to learn anyhow.
