Only if it's their only source of news, and even this clickbait article doesn't attempt to claim that.
What's more likely is social media is the first place they hear of something, then they go to an actual news organization for details.
Which is ironic because so many (presumably) adults in this thread just read a headline on social media and then believed it instead of taking two seconds to read the article that's a click away.
