This is a perfect example of what Tucker Carlson said in his talk at Turning Point Action, if you want to know what is true, look at what the Establishment is calling a lie.
If there was no truth to the statement, then no one is harmed by it; therefore, there should be no fine. The irony is they don’t seem to understand their actions validate the guest’s comment.

I really like the following formulations:
They are right. Do we know this drug exist or is it just an accessory narration device from « Fear and loathing in Las Vegas »?
They don’t put it as a conspiracy theory anymore, they put it as for some whom are neither described as righteous or malevolent.

Uhm…how can a “conspiracy theory” infringe on someone’s rights?
Unless…
When you read the English translation of that article at least, I cannot understand a word of what they are saying. Too much googledygook words. I guess English will be repkaced by Legalese and anything anyone says can infringe anything it wants. Good times.
Your comment reminded me of the court scene in Idiocracy for some reason. Lol

what rights? the right to be a disgusting monster and have no one know about it? fines are bullshit and aren't strictly penalties derived from committing crimes, this is why they aren't being sued they just had regulators pressured into administering a fine.
