    When you ban discussion related to a conspiracy or make it illegal to be a DENIER of said event … you are basically confirming the conspiracy as correct.

      By this logic, Holocaust in Germany didn’t happen as it’s illegal there to deny it. I get your point, but it’s flawed

        No, its not flawed. I know many people here in the US that are holocaust deniers based solely on the fact that it is illegal in most of Europe.
        You honestly cannot do research to prove portions of the holocaust records could be wrong without risking imprisonment.

          It’s not illegal in most of Europe. If you say it in most of Europe in polite company you’ll get punched most likely, but you won’t get arrested.

          It’s literally only Germany which have made it illegal for the fairly obvious reasons
