I intend to do my best to teach my kids media literacy as soon as they are old enough. In other words, to teach them that publishing something doesn't make it truthful. That doing it for a camera doesn't make it normal. That people hide their intentions, follow bad incentives, and form groups to propagate bad ideas; especially online.
It will be tough but I think if I start earlier enough, I might be able to protect her psyche from the open cesspool that is modern social media. All media, really. From fake butts on Insta, to fake reviews on Amazon, to fake news on Infowars, to fake DIY hacks on YouTube. I will teach her that there are lies everywhere.
