I hate how "conspiracy" has been turned into a way to dismiss inconvenient truths.

There is a long and well established history of interference and manipulation of foriegn elections (often by the US). It predates social media and can't be just be blamed on facebook. Pretending this isn't happening is just burying your head the sand.

It isn't a "conspiracy" to think that the most influential elections in the world draws more attention and are more heavily influenced.
