You seem to imply that a general willingness is what would allow this to happen when the article spells it out pretty clearly: it's powerful organizations clinging to power. Your sentiment amounts to nothing more than wishful thinking.

It's tempting to just agree with your sentiment, but I think that day dreaming about an unrealistic solution sucks energy away from more effective actions. The main challenge of solving a difficult puzzle is to avoid dead ends and red herrings.

A more promising plan involves explicitly strategizing against the agents who have the opposite agenda.

A viral meme/tiktok/xkcd/etc could educate many 18 years old on how bad the deal is.
