Original Question
"Social media are censoring conspiracy theories, therefore the conspiracy theories must be true."
People X are censoring people Y, therefore what people Y claim must be truth.
Answers
1The claim is essentially that social media companies don't want their users posting facts and things that are true. This is just ridiculous... and a non sequitur
The fact that something is censored, does not mean that it is true and the one censoring does not want the truth revealed. Although that is one reason for censoring (like a private company removing complaints in comments from their website), there are many more legitimate reasons. The reasons needs to be established with evidence, not simply asserted.
