Teaching Smallsteps to consume social media content (when she does start to use them) with discernment is a good thing in a world riddled with lies. In a world where, like you said, truth and fallacies are dictated by those in power. One has to be able to filter out the BS. We do certainly need help.
The lies aren't just in the media. People are getting worse and reading body cues and I think this is why so many fall for face to face lies too.
