Episode description
Conspiracy theories have always existed, but the internet has made it easier for them to spread faster and mutate more. Before, someone could float a strange theory to a neighbor. Now, it’s to all their friends on Facebook. Vox culture reporter Aja Romano discusses the history of conspiracy theories, how the internet has accelerated the anti-vaccination movement and QAnon, and what can be done to help get people out of the rabbit holes they’ve fallen into.
