It's not free speech to yell fire in a crowded theater when there's no fire.

On principal, I think that .gov can encourage responsible speech, and discourage irresponsible speech without violating the 1st.
But it's a narrow line, and could easily go to far, if said discouragement came with potential adverse consequences, real, implied or even the appearance of.

As the man says, the answer to a questionable hypothesis ought to be MORE speech, not less. THAT's the scientific method. Assertion and challenge, not 'shut the ef up.'

The conspiracy theories go on and on without solid proof but for political reasons.
"a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as the result of a secret plot by usually powerful conspirators"
And now we'll get all kind of links about said theory but none will have any solid proof.

As I predicted, absolutely no proof, none. Yet, he still posts his conspiracy theories as if they are fact. He depends on no one actually reading the links which provide no proof of his conspiracies. Deflection and obfuscation are the game.

The last 4 yrs. the word "conspiracy" has held more truth and meaning than your fact checks and science.
