Allan Bakke, Anne LaFrinier-Richie, and Kate LePage discuss popular conspiracy theories involving sex trafficking and the psychology behind whether a conspiracy theory is successful and able to gain traction. We will discuss why we tend to believe a conspiracy theory, even after concrete data proves it false, such as we found with Pizzagate! Lastly, this podcast discusses the harm caused by the spread of conspiracy theories to this movement and to those personally impacted by sex trafficking and exploitation.
