I would really rather that these were actual examples, and not conspiracy theories. We all have our own unsubstantiated ideas about what shadowy no-gooders are doing, but I'd rather hear about things that are actually happening.

No, it's because she's not a minor anymore, so she can be arrested for spreading such a hoax and invading private property. You see, free speech doesn't guaratee one to spread false information and misinforming people worldwide while being funded by the EV industry. If she continues with that, she will likely rot in jail along with her followers.
