The problem here is that "conspiracy theory" is a very broad category. Many things that were considered "conspiracy theories" turned out to be true - for example before Assange and Chelsea Manning leaked on Wikileaks, much of what they leaked was already speculated about under the guise of "conspiracy theories". Same with the Panama papers. Same with Epstein. Same with Dan Schneider. Same with Harvey Weinstein, same with corporate price gouging under the guise of "inflation"... Same with the government debt-trapping countries overseas to further imperialist aims. Etc etc.

How long before any claims about Zionist influence in the US media to manufacture consent for genocide in Palestine gets flagged as "conspiracy theories" and gets you banned? How long before any criticism of corporations, the military, the police or the government is cause to get you banned?

It seems you define "conspiracy theory" as "any explanation of the way things are in the world that I don't personally believe in". That's far too broad.
