Mrquez-Greene pointed out that while we still have a ways to go in understanding grief and loss, it's unreasonable to expect survivors of high-profile tragedies to withstand public attacks from conspiracies. She even concedes that healthy questioning of government and people is important, though she makes it clear that is not how she sees Stone and his ilk. <\/p>\n
\"You intentionally use your platform to espouse theories debunked by law enforcement and that a bereaved family has expressly asked you to stop promoting,\" she wrote. \"Your actions have real consequences for those of us grieving.\" <\/p>\n
Mrquez-Greene also noted another simple fact: bereaved parents and family members from high-profile tragedies are no longer remaining quiet in the face of these conspiracies. Like Mrquez-Greene, others have begun speaking out about the real-life consequences of online conspiracies. Even the owner of Comet Ping Pong, the pizza shop in Washington D.C. caught up in a conspiracy that led to an armed gunman firing a round inside the restaurant, has been outspoken about the damage the conspiracy has done. <\/p>\n
