    They are getting banned from public spaces any time they bring them up. So instead of learning why they are wrong, they are instead sent off to find similarly delusional people. Censoring (moderating) feeds the echo chamber.

      That’s just not a realistic perspective of what is happening. People are not coming up with these ideas in a vacuum, nor does simply giving them the actual facts cause them to reevaluate their positions.

      There are still people out there trying to pretend like the Holocaust did not happen. This is one of history’s most well-documented atrocities. Lack of information is not a problem here. People are deciding to believe this delusion after they are radicalized by bad faith actors on social media.
