If all ages are influenced by misinformation, should there be any age limits on voting?

i think giving 16 year olds and childern 10 or over would improve democracy,some people may say ``well they`re way to young and they might not even understand!`` well my debate to that is they need to understand the rules and regulations like before any votes there can be a person who can tell them the rules and regulations and then they can vote.
because in my opinion any child over 10 or 10 can vote,why you may ask because they would understand better then any age younger than 10!
in Trinidad and tobago`s 2010 election,a protest by young people turned into a social media campaign called "do so!" meaning "Dont vote!" so they are doing protests so thy can vote i think the reason is because most young people dont get heard !!! some people may disagree with me like some countries have to be over 25 years old to vote!
so back to my question i do think their should be a age limit on voting to voting because sme people may say to the kids "that person did that so dont vote them!" and yes kids will believe that.
in indias 2019 election,many poltical 0parties heavily used digitial media, through platforms , poltical messages ,memes,videos and "news" were shared directly .this allowed parties to bypass traditional newspapers and radio,spreading information what was not fact -checked !!
so i think it should be 10 or over and if they`re like 6 they might not understand but as i know in scotland they made the age 16.but still in most countries its 18 or the highest 25.
