The idea here is that by having young learners play games in which they learn how media can be manipulated they are able to consume media more critically in the future. "These games rest on a single, overarching premise: You can inoculate people against fake news by exposing them to small amounts of such content - much as low doses of live virus can vaccinate people against a disease." Though I suspect that anti-vaxxers would be opposed to this sort of treatment as well.
