A gullibility note from Paul Fidalgo at CFI:
The stereotype says that it’s older folks who fall for online scams, but when it comes to COVID-19 misinformation, it’s the dang kids: “People under the age of 25 had an 18% probability of believing a false claim, compared to only 9% of people over 65,” according to a big study from Harvard, Rutgers, Northeastern, and Northwestern (or, HRNN, pronounced “hrrrrrnnnnnnn” like when you have a stomach ache).
You’d think the natives would be better at tracking the scams than those damn chrono-interlopers.
Perhaps it’s not the medium, but the message, after all.
