It is quite often both. Can we stop this false conflation of conspiracy = false?
It is a misuse of the word. People keep using the word "conspiracy" when the word they are wishing to use is "theory".
It conflates, and confuses their intended message.
But it happens so often that I think it must be intentional.
People just don't understand what the word means anymore. It's so bad, not only have I heard others do it, I've actually done it myself in real life.
