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

It is true that all ages can be influenced by people or social media, this happens in life decisions and not only in politics. But why is people easily influenced? Sometimes repetition matters, although you can have a clear point of view about something, if you are all day listening to a person defending the oposite, you may change your opinion. And this is what happens specially among young people. The difference and reason I think the minimum age for voting is 18, is that adults can also be influenced but they are supposed to be more intelligent in the sense of searching for information and spending time deciding which opcion is the best for their country. Apart from repetition, there is another problem, as I mentioned before, social media. On platforms like Tik Tok and Instagram, everyone shares their opinion and this ends up creating prejudies on society, what causes some young people to abadon their own personalities just to fit in.
