> If online exposure is hard from 5 years or above, there should be some level of ads education from 5 years itself

I would argue the opposite. Some parents now seem to treat children like small adults. 6 year old on the internet? How did this become normal?

Kids are not small adults. They need time to fully develop before they are ready to comprehend and understand "stuff".
