I find it funny that things like this are still controversial. And people keep censoring each other on the internet in _every_ place. It's like it's illegal to be wrong because you could influence others to be wrong too and that is dangerous.
What better way to make paranoid people more paranoid than to censor what they say? It sure worked for flat earthers but at least they could test their theories at home.
- dudeDDRrulez 5y agoExcept no one censored flat earthers. Just the opposite, attention was brought to those views and they were ridiculed. Go search YouTube for “flat earth proven” to see how censored they are. Note how many results and how many appear on each side of the debate pro vs against. Now search for an actual censored topic, “covid vaccine graphene oxide” and compare the differences. Note how few results and how many fact checks appear. The general consensus in the conspiracy community is that Flat Earth is a silly idea which most members have debunked personally. The only reason it is brought up at all is to attempt to be linked to that group and make conspiracy theorists seem crazy/stupid/unhinged. Example: “Oh you believe the lab leak theory? I bet you believe flat earth too! yuk yuk”. Another similar example is QAnon. QAnon believers are more ridiculed in conspiracy circles than they are in the general public.

- Gravyness 5y agoYeah, I guess you are right, my example was bad, I should probably mention some sensitive conspiracy thing like pizza gate or something equally odd.
