"Conspiracy Theories" and government infiltration
Sunstein co-authored an infamous 2008 paper, entitled "Conspiracy Theories" which tried to link questioning governments' official narratives with violence, and suggested that "the best response [to "conspiracy theorists"] consists in cognitive infiltration of extremist groups".[1] Various commentators have roundly criticized this intellectual stance.[2][3] who argue that it would violate prohibitions on government propaganda aimed at domestic citizens.[4] Sunstein and Vermeule's proposed infiltrations have also been met by sharply critical scholarly critiques.[5][6][7] The paper was cited in a 2015 speech by François Hollande in which he recommended that governments censor any such questioning from the internet.
