I wonder how much of that is giving a platform to conspiracy theorists and how much of it is the social media algorithms' manipulation making the conspiracy theories significantly more visible and persuasive.

Is there any consideration of this with regard to Section 230? e.g., you're a passive conduit if you allow something to go online, but you're an active publisher if you actively employ any form of algorithm to publish and promote?

Look at 4chan and it's derivatives: minimal algorithms and they're the shitholes of ideas on the internet.
