The way they are phrasing this is telling. By using the phrase "conspiracies and hate" they are deliberately placing "conspiracies" next to "hate." This technique is known as juxtaposition. They do this to psychologically anchor the two ideas together in people's minds.
What they are doing is literally paying people to infiltrate forums such as this one to mix hate speech with discourse that questions government policies. The goal is to conflate discussions about actual conspiracies with racism, misogyny, antisemitism, homophobia and transphobia. Don't fall for it!
The important thing to remember is that they are NOT actually trying to fight hate speech, but rather censoring political speech that could in any way motivate people to vote against the one-party in America (Democrats). You may be aware of Facebook hiding the image that reads "stand up for what you believe in, even if you stand alone". The algorithm did not examine the sentence for meaning! The algorithm analyzed who was sharing and their political views along with how virally the image was trending. They are stifling speech likely to persuade people to vote non-Democrat.
This tool was created to allow government tech to do this more effectively and interfere with upcoming American elections.

Meanwhile, the online "fact checkers" suggest that it is because of a difficult-to-see (read impossible-to-see, because this is an unbelievable level of horseshit) image of a blood-stained knife in the image. Yes, really. No, I am not exaggerating. https://www.truthorfiction.com/stand-up-for-what-you-believe-in-even-if-facebook-marks-it-sensitive-content/
