YouTube suspends Donald Trump's channel

TV News channels kept on aggressively fact checking Trump, I just don't know if it had any impact on the real danger of people believing his lies.

These moves would eventually lower trust in Big Tech among conservatives to a point that more conspiracy theories will rise.

This makes methink we are about to see a Golden Age of conspiracy theories. Something that makes 'Q Annon' stuff look like peer reviewed paper in science.

If you take conspiracy theories and remove the thin thread of logic, you’re just left with propaganda... so it seems like we’re already starting to see what you’re predicting.

I am not convinced that Fox News did that, aggressively.

Yes, that is a scenario I'm talking about. Splintered internet where conspiracy theories will be common.
