This is why it is so super important to educate kids on media and tech literacy. They need to understand that YouTube is not the only source of videos, that you can not only buy your stuff on Amazon, and that Google is not the only place to search. They need to know that nothing is free, and that they are being monitored. And that there are choices.
I was super mad with our kid's school, because they only allowed the kids to have Microsoft office. It's not about the tools - they'll change by the time they graduate - but about the results.
