They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?

Maybe because they are kids? I can assure you I am better at detecting misinformation than my previous generation. I don't want to be that guy, but kids are still learning, until they experience it they don't understand what to do. No one wastes their time on Roblox ranting about mind control vaccines
Considering kids have been groomed on Roblox, I wouldn't be shocked if kids were being primed for believing in nonsense conspiracies there either.
