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

I think that the voting age should be lowered, as long as young people have access to proper resources of information, not just what they see on social media. In this standpoint I will be discussing misinformation, how it spreads and what can be done about it.

One way that misinformation spreads is through social media. With 60% of the population using social media, and 95% of teenagers, it's difficult to tell if something is real or fake news. AI plays a role in this, generating realistic videos, pictures and audio which can impersonate someone and convince people to believe misinformation. All age groups are susceptible to this form of misinformation as AI is a rapidly changing technology and it is hard to decipher whether it was human or AI who makes the content you see.

Fake news can be deliberately created or accidental. People might spread it because they have convinced themselves it is true and that they are doing nothing wrong. Or, they could want to twist the truth to make a more compelling argument about something they believe in. People may not mean to spread misinformation, maybe they tell someone something, but the story changes slightly each time. No matter if it is spread on purpose or by accident, people can still believe it and make decisions based on misleading information.

One place where people may be compelled to believe misinformation is when voting. With political parties making promises they can't fulfil, and their supporters spreading lies on social media, it is difficult to find a reliable source of information. I think that if the voting age is lowered, young people should be given more reliable sources of information and educated about fake news and how it spreads.

Many people think there is a clear line between misinformation and facts, however I would disagree with them. For example, if someone from Iceland posts on social media that today is the hottest day of the year, and someone from Greece reads it and thinks that they can’t be correct and they are spreading misinformation. Who is right and who is wrong in this situation? I would argue that there is no way to decide what is misinformation, and what is misunderstanding.

So, when the definition of misinformation is so unclear, is it fair to exclude young voters based on the fact they may be misled?
