So I (42F)just had a minor fight with my mum (75F) and I need some help. We are both in canada and she has become completely obsessed with American politics. In her defense at least it’s not right leaning. Lately though I have been finding her watching AI generated slop content. This is after we just watched the John Oliver video on the same subject. Im also in infosec so i get exposed to alot of this stuff regularly. This last time I got a little more flustered then I should have. And she told me I’m being controlling. (I asked her to pause the video and reminded her of what we just watched)I don’t think I am controlling her but I am concerned about her being manipulated by this made-up junk. How can I approach this better so she doesn’t feel like I’m telling her what to do?
One other point i think is relevant I’m highly technical and she refuses to learn more then the absolute basics about tech and this probably colours my opinions to some degree.
Also apologies for gramer and word choice I’m on mobile.
