Networks of misinformation and conspiracy theories

FraternitéAttacks on Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine, criminals and unprecedented should not lead anyone to panic, Islamophobia (hatred of Islam) and should be seen as professor Emmaneul Taieb, Professor of Science Policy Lyon, so that was “an event which marks a break from the social and political order. There is a need to respond to the commotion with interpretations “but without panic and hatred.
They left many rumors about a third world war, until the end of the world proliferated on social networks theories of conspiracies, and people saying about the action of the secret service in the attack (the French far right) and other nonsense.
But these theories not only seduce the young, as demonstrated by the case of a suspended teacher near Paris or municipal officers punished in Lille (north): They saw them all a conspiracy behind the attack on Charlie Hebdo.
In times of great change, there are conflicts and most of them are always avoidable, is not justified the act against Charlies Hebdo, but also sarcastic way of dealing with religious issues, not only Islamic, were not only critical and passed about the limit.
There would be a great act against Islam in France, and fortunately the authorities did not allow, is not only the religious reasons that make the radical people, but intolerance, disrespect and lack of freedom for all sectors of society, including belief.
Unfortunately some theories of conspiracies were true, as the project the CIA (The Central Intelligence Agency) ran secret mind-control experiments on US citizens in the 1950s until 1973.

Yes, it happened, and it was so true that in 1995, President Clinton actually issued a formal apology on behalf of the US government.
We can not because of violence, withdraw the freedom of some sector of society, this is also an unacceptable violence.
It is a golden rule: do not do to others what you would not want it done to you.
