Remember the creepy VPN stuff marketed at teens that Facebook was doing? They really wanted to see what platforms teens were connecting to and engaging with!

That's a great point. I will talk to teenagers about tech more.
It's that.
People make fun of me when tell them I like to talk to teens about technology. Why, they ask. Why? Because I learn about all these new upcoming platforms. I ask them "how do you get music now", "how do you share photos", "what do you use instead of Facebook".
And I learn about Snap, TikTok, Instagram, etc. long before they are popular.

Talk to teens about technology. It will be enlightening.
