conservative strategy 101;

1) "raise concerns." This is done by essentially creating a conspiracy theory.

2) demand that the conspiracy theory be disproved. Not only it this usually impossible, but if tech is involved, demand a "simple" explanation "in plain English."

3) Since your conspiracy theory can't be disproven, keep spreading it until your mark gives you special favor in order to placate you.

4) Don't actually stop whining. Ever. Never back down from your whining. Keep whining, because it won you concessions you didn't earn.

You see this with Twitter and the supposed anti-right conspiracy. You see this with Facebook with the anti-right-wing news conspiracy theory. You see this with Trans issues, "raising concerns" until major outlets are conceding horrendous talking points to placate TERFs.

You see this with antivaxx and immigration and a thousand others. Act ignorant, persist in your ignorance, get special coddle treatment because you choose to remain ignorant.

Stop falling for this. This is the strategy of crying babies wanting ice cream. Act like parents.

Hell to add to this thread: This is straight up a 4chan tactic. The usual "raised concern" is that someone is a pedophile. Then they have to disprove that assertion, and when they don't, they're free game for harassment. 4chan is fucking de rigeur for political discourse now.
