I think that the launch vehicle would have to be real. People were on the ground watching/recording when that thing launched. Doesn't mean it put anything into orbit though. Once the launch is done, everyone is expected to trust what NASA broadcasts to their radios and televisions. Could be a Kubrick flick, could be real. What video's I've seen left me neutral, because they could be faked too. Maybe they actually did make it to the moon, but were unable to show the footage (for reasons) and had to fake what they presented to the people. So many possibilities!
Including the actual one: it was real. You can't fake lunar gravity, and that shows clearly on the videos, especially the behavior of the dust kicked up by the Moon Buggy. Or the nearness of the horizon. And if you've ever been at a major launch, you would know something Real has happened.
You would rather believe liars who lie to you about the Moon, than honest people who tell the truth about the Moon. You are nowhere.
You don't know. I don't know. No one knows. Nor do we all know if the number is only "thousands." You don't even have evidence that a single person was silenced, so that is a flight of fancy. We do have evidence that thousands---if not millions---are aware and have knowledge. We have rocks from the Moon. Other nations have sent probes and landers. You can't silence a world of independent researchers.
What kills me is that we know from (usually) personal experience that Google is perverse and following an inimical agenda. Why would we give it's "A.I." any credence whatsoever? These things are no better than scripted telephone robots. No sane person should have any expectation of truth from these algorithms. They are entirely a reflection of the ignorance and bias of their programmers.

How much would silencing thousands cost?

Didn't you know star trek was a documentary?
