> Being informed of what?

From being informed of literally anything.

Before COVID, the median US High school grad could not pass a middle school reading or math exam by merit. The trend has worsened so that today's median grad cannot demonstrate knowledge they were presented after elementary school. By the numbers, scrolling is inhibiting education on a societal scale.

The GP implied that nefarious forces might be working to remove social media from youths in order to control them better. My argument is that social media has them pretty well under control.
