>Conspiracy theorist and online troll Alex Jones

>The decision comes hours after Apple and Facebook made similar moves

So I guess Mr Jones will have to report on this particular conspiracy elsewhere. I for one would like to hear it...

Sophisticated people understand that there are no actual conspiracies, only baseless conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories are usually bad explanations and leave unexplained stuff like how new conspirators are recruited without exposing the conspiracy. Yet a small fraction of conspiracy theories are true, e.g. Guy Fawkes. A more sophisticated treatment acknowledges this and understands that these are frequently labelled 'conspiracy theories' in attempts to discredit them.
