I saw a video on Instagram claiming (or at least insinuating) that Epstein had access to all of Lifetouch's photos, because "the company is in the Epstein files!". Turns out, it was a single line item for $109 in what looked like banking records. In comparison, that same selection of files mentioned Whole Foods ~250 times.

For those outside the US, Lifetouch does school photos for about half the schools in the US (or something like that) so you can understand how that's a thread that conspiracy theorists can pull on. But there's nothing there. Just a single payment to the company in a sea of thousands and thousands of normal, every day purchases.

who. fucking. cares. systematic child abuse has been covered up for decades, across multiple administrations. THE PRESIDENT IS NAMED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES.

LET ME REPEAT. WHO CARES. I don't blame a single god damn person for getting wrapped up in conspiracies.

There is a book “Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible” which you might want to consider before deciding truth doesn’t matter anymore. It describes an explicit strategy by the Kremlin to poison the information landscape with lies, half truths, and conspiracies. And amplify conflicting narratives.

Eventually people stop caring about what is true anymore.

In the age of easy to fake video, photos, audio, etc, who wouldn't be?

Except you and everyone you agree with I'm sure

nixosbestos’s comment was in response to a post about how an arbitrary brand new conspiracy theory didn’t have compelling evidence in the emails. It seems like saying “who cares” to what kind of reads like “technically there’s an infinite amount of conspiracy theories that aren’t proven in the emails” is saying the opposite of “truth doesn’t matter”
