"Older people play an outsized role in civic life. They also are more
likely to be online targets for misinformation and hyperpartisan rhetoric."

Proportionally, older people are more likely to be good “marks” -
they’re both wealthier and more vulnerable.

My employer Infoxchange is involved in assisting with Digital Literacy
in Australia.
