Yes it is very problematic. Im more concerned about political and sociological manipulation where lies and deceit are used to convince people to support agendas which go against there own best interests.



Protecting them from that possibility infantilizes them, and what their own interests are will often not be clear to others.

It's easy to say what your best interests would be if you were in their situation, but they might assign very different values to certain outcomes.


I'm capable of understanding humanity shares best interests and using lies and deceit to manipulate is harmful to society. It sad you have chosen to believe otherwise. So no I don't agree.
