> If I’m marginally informed there is no reason other people shouldn’t be.

That's not actually true though. That just shows a lack of empathy on your part.

> If they already have the phone all the information in the world is literally at their fingertips.

While that's sort of true, there's a mountain of propaganda and bullshit to wade through, with thin seams of truth. The education system doesn't prepare people for this, nor does our media, nor do our politicians or corporations.

The wealthy who profit on our ignorance like things this way, and (hire people to) work very hard to keep things that way. So again, blaming the victim is missing the point.
