    Suing public spaces of discussion for what random-ass people talk about sounds pretty fucking stupid.

    If I told a friend about my conspiracy theories while having lunch at a Burger King, would Burger King be liable for the dumb bullshit that came out of my mouth in addition for the dumb bullshit I put in it? 🤔

      It would if Burger King recommended that conspiracy theory to its other customers, which is what social networks are designed to do.
