What do you mean by "conspiracy"? I'm not trying to be funny here, I think it's worth examining what precisely you mean by that word when you use it. It's a word with a specific meaning that is frequently abused in wishy-washy ways, often used to describe loony beliefs not grounded in reality, or beliefs that run contrary to the official narrative.

If the official narrative is that we aren't being constantly surveilled, then this submission pales in comparison to what should be on the front page.
But I don't think that is the official narrative, per se.

Note that if you're using the term "conspiracy" in the strict sense, it's not contrary to the official narrative. The official narrative for 9/11 for instance, the 9/11 Commission Report, is terrorists conspired to crash airplanes.
In the colloquial wishy-washy sense, that report is not a conspiracy theory, despite being a theory about a conspiracy. However every other theory that disagrees with it is a conspiracy theory.
