CHICAGO Jillian Soto remembers the day she stumbled across a website that showed photos of her at her sister's funeral and was horrified to read accusations that she had faked grief as part of an elaborate government hoax.
Only a month earlier, Victoria Soto, 27, had been shot down while sheltering her first-grade students at Sandy Hook Elementary School. The Dec. 14 massacre in Newtown, Conn., left 20 children and seven adults dead.
"I was in tears" reading the website, said Jillian Soto, 24, who was told by a lawyer that the author was protected by free speech. "Everyone tells you, don't pay any attention to these websites. But it hurt."
Conspiracy theorists have thrived on the Internet, producing hundreds of such websites that challenge official reports and claim nefarious plots behind emotionally charged events despite evidence to the contrary. Some are wildly speculative, casting doubt on whether man really took steps on the moon.
Others, like the website Soto discovered, which espouses antigovernment and anti-Semitic opinions, are viewed by some watchdog groups as malicious hate speech.
