Big if true (I'm sure more studies will follow). Usually complaints about new technologies have gone nowhere, but I don't think they've targeted anyone this young until now.

Yeah, I actually don't know how young it starts, but I've heard it's very very young. If they can touch a thumbnail they can use a tablet, and then they end up with Elsagate as a babysitter.
