No one taught gen x and millenials how to discern misinformation, but we figured it out. Why didn't gen Z?
You think? Look at the ages of the antivaxxers and trumpers..
Mostly boomers?
Most of the ones I've come across have been GenX or younger.
Boomers are in their 60s now, they're not really going on the internet spreading rumours.
You must be young. Or never went on Facebook.
People in their 60s and 70s are the driving force behind a lot of the stupid on the internet.
