RE: Freedom and responsibility

"Steemit itself is a place that has attracted a large number of freedom of speech advocates due to the relative lack of censorship inherent in the current system."

You know something? I am truly curious to find out what is the connection between freedom of speech and conspiracy theories.

Let's face it, when a network promotes freedom of speech, the conspiracy theories grow everywhere.

I bet there's a study to this.

Sort:  

Perhaps when people feel they do not need to 'hide' they are more willing to speak their mind. Perhaps it is like being drunk with a loss of social and personal inhibitions?

Yeah I guess, but there's definitely a ton of confirmation bias involved when learning of a conspiracy theory.

It's like, "I want this to be true because my life sucks today in society."

That's what I think.
