We failed to give the kids the skills to think critically (because that's not in the ruling classes best interest), so now, to keep the population under some form of governability, information has to be restricted so people don't end up destroying their own society. Nice.

I agree though, most information is misinformation, even the most popular stuff, Joe Rogan et al.

Critical thinking lessons are not enough to protect kids.
You’re right, I misspoke, kids should be off the phones and internet until a certain age but while they’re offline need to be prepared to deal with the onslaught of rubbish they will face when they’re online. Including AI generated nonsense.
