I think banning it makes it worse. Now they really think it’s a conspiracy. There’s always going to be stupid ideas around things. You can’t just ban it.
We can't base all of our decision making processes on whether or not they justify the delusions of the paranoid, because anything besides normalizing and spreading their beliefs will. We're already seeing dangerous societal consequences as a result of the accelerated spread of falsehoods and conspiracy theories, so I have to disagree that turning the firehose on even harder is the best possible solution.
