Well, look at it from the Government's perspective: they cannot ignore those who are actively advocating for the overthrow of the State, self-preservation is one of the most important goals of the State. As for right wing conspiracy theories: I think we just have to accept that there will be conspiracy theories no matter what we do. The whole QAnon nonsense was based on complete fiction. The only way to really combat it is probably for the Government to be transparent in what its doing, and an independent media with high quality journalists plays a huge role in doing that (part of what resulted in this article).
