    1. Censorship of inaccurate or problematic content does not provide youth the skills they will one day need to evaluate informa-tion independently

      Exactly. Censoring people from inaccuracy robs our youth of the capability to develop critiquing skills. In life we have to practice skepticism but censoring youth doesn't offer this opportunity to learn and practice skepticism.

    2. Too often, we focus on limit-ing youth from accessing inaccurate or problematic information.

      This stood out to me. It reminds me of the phrase, "You can only learn if you make mistakes." The youth population is not going to learn and become more digitally literate if they cannot pick out inaccuracy online.

    3. powerful immigrants have betrayed native popu-lations

      I think its incredibly interesting how Boyd makes this observation. In history, immigrants have destroyed native populations. So I think what she's trying to say is that anyone can become digitally literate. An immigrant can be just as literate as a native, it is all up to who chooses to learn it. Natives are the only ones capable of being digitally literate.
