Maybe overblown but
Quote:MORE AND MORE AMERICANS ARE STARTING TO BELIEVE EARTH IS FLAT
In America interest in the flat-Earth movement appears to be growing. In September Bobby Ray Simmons Jr., a rapper also known as B.o.B, launched a crowd-funding campaign to send satellites into orbit to determine the Earth’s shape. On November 9th, 500 “flat-Earthers” assembled in North Carolina for the first annual Flat Earth International Conference. Data from Google Trends show that in the past two years, searches for “flat earth” have more than tripled.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Interesting article about how conspiracy theories are not "expressions of harmless eccentrics anymore. Gone are the days of outlandish theories about Roswell’s UFOs, the “hoax” moon landings or grassy knolls."
But how in this day and age people get death threats mostly by being picked on by Alex Jones people.

YouTube Moves to Make Conspiracy Videos Harder to Find
YouTube provided only three examples of the types of videos that it would stop recommending: those promoting a phony miracle cure for a serious illness, ones claiming the earth is flat or content making blatantly false claims about historic events like the Sept. 11 attacks.

Conspiracy advocates WANT to argue about these things. The more people tell them they are wrong the stronger their belief that they are right. "I must be right or THEY would not be fighting THE TRUTH so hard." (Literal quote from years ago.)

Meh. I'm willing to be persuaded otherwise, but I'm leaning more towards the opinion that these social media companies should be regulated every day.

That is the nature of conspiracy theories. They are immune to evidence. Any evidence against the conspiracy is simply part of the conspiracy. Any missing evidence for the conspiracy is covered up. Everything is a false flag, a deception. This means that you can construct and maintain a conspiracy narrative out of anything — any facts that happen to exist. Conspiracy theories are compatible with any reality, because they just make up ad-hoc explanations for everything within the conspiracy narrative.
