Aren't easily influenced?

Have you been living under a rock?

In the past 5-10 years all the populist idiot politicians came to power because of internet media, young people sharing hod knows what bullshit with eachother without ever thinking what's true and not.

The pandemic and climate change are two enormous problems (one likely terminal) that were riddled with misinformation that caused so much suffering for nothing...

The next generation is just as bad as the current, and previous

What you're describing is simply the Big Tobacco playbook from the 1950s being adapted into modern communications methods. If we didn't have internet media, I guarantee you we'd still be seeing pandemic misinformation on AM radio and climate change lies on news networks funded by Shell and BP.
