In this episode, we dive deep into Pizzagate, the viral conspiracy theory that took the internet by storm in 2016. What started as baseless speculation on social media quickly escalated into a full-blown moral panic—one that led to real-world consequences, including an armed man storming a Washington, D.C. pizza place. We'll break down how this theory spread, the role of misinformation, and what Pizzagate reveals about the power and dangers of internet culture. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and explore how this hoax became a defining moment in digital history.
