Certainly but one needs to get information from somewhere. There are a lot of sources but some are going to be more prevalent than others for that age (reddit, twitter and then all the instagrams and co.).
So if I have a choice to make, I prefer to push them towards a source where people who write nonsense are more likely to be corrected than a place where tribalism or conformism is so high that another opinion does not have a chance.
All of this is the introduction to discussions between us afterwards (where they get one more biased opinion - mine), but I prefer the topics they would get from HN than Instagram.
As an example, we spent a good amont of time yesterday when he brought up the case of a child (11 yo) that paid for the artwork of his mother. It was a very interesting exchange of opinions about what parents and children are entitled to vs responsibilities vs casual money management etc.
