I think for kids it's more alarming just because of how much data they're willing to throw out there to pure strangers like on TikTok. Who they are, how old they are, their regular schedule, what they like, that's all just terrifying to me.
Then after that as someone who had their identity stolen in a breach, teaching them about when you should and should not have to give your info, when to use dummy accounts, etc.
Then what you're talking about is lowest priorities, what you give to Microsoft and Google. Still important, but not giving your SSN over to randos is a good start
