Adults don't look at it and call it BS immediately, either. If anything kids are better at it. e.g. we all knew that the moral panic over violent video games was a bunch of BS.

I think these are two different classes of issues you’re comparing.

Kids are perhaps often intuitively good at evaluating the severity of unintended consequences.

Adults are much better at being aware of deliberate efforts to take advantage of developmental stages and tendencies.
