Who decides whether it's "misinformation" or not?

It's always a good idea to be well versed in some of these conspiracy theories as often truth can be found in small measures there. The flat earth videos are a good example. They raise some good points that defy logic and of which science has not provided an answer for.

This is sad to come to this point...

Internet became the disinformation superhighway.

One wonders what the definition of "conspiracy theory" is. A case in point is the 9/11 incident. Bush was soon to shout "Conspiracy theory," when anyone questioned the official story. Yet there was no doubt about it being a conspiracy. It was a conspiracy. The question is WHOSE. Terrorists? or someone else's?

The deep state is desparately trying to control the narrative. Fewer and fewer people believe the controlled MSM (AKA fake news). The internet does have some very informative videos and reports. Unfortunately the well has been poisoned, and one needs to sift through lots of trash to find a few pearls of truth. Much of that trash is likely intentional, to mislead people in the wrong direction or to try to discredit the independent media.

Why? They are entertaining especially for those who still believe flat earth.

YouTube is the greatest conduit of information ever created. It is also the greatest conduit of nonsense, non-science and ignorance ever created.

Flat earthers, nazi’s, kale-enema advocates, religious nuts etc have all found a wonderful, free outlet.

This must surely be evidence of a Conspiracy against "Crypto-currencies" by some of the major Governments and Co-operations who're vying for control over these themselves...
