More (not so) fun facts:
54% of American adults read below a 6th grade level.
21% read below a 5th grade level, which is considered functionally illiterate.
High immigration numbers don't fully explain it either, as first gen immigrants only make up about 1/3 of those with low literacy.
You know what's even better?
The next generation isn't going to be able to read nor focus on anything for more than 60 seconds, and after it comes to pass there still won't be any meaningful regulation of social media either.

What did you think social media was made for, if not to make the vast majority of people (that have been failed by a hollowed out education system and exposed to unfettered anti intellectualism lobbying from pro oil lobbyists hitting the news like the US hit its people with crack and LSD) into unthinking easily manipulatable cattle that buy what you tell them to, think what you show them is real, and then spread that misinformation like gospel.
That and there is also an uncontrolled virus going around that literally eats your nervous system to the point where some people that caught it were physically incapable of reading.
Why do you think it's so easy to convince people there's a conspiracy around an Antarctic pyramid by showing them a zoomed in glacial mountain range and drawing a square around one peak?
They're already regulating social media...in all the wrong ways. Age verification is just the start.
