That’s not how schizophrenia is precipitated. Schizophrenic delusions are highly personal, e.g. “I literally am Jeffrey Epstein” or “CIA agents are stalking my home because I know too much about Epstein”. They differ fundamentally from “ordinary” conspiracy theories.
I’m using the word clinically, not as an ableist pejorative. I have loved ones with the illness.
I wouldn’t know what to call it, but it is defiantly a thing, people getting a bit too deep into weird stuff on the internet to the point it starts negatively affecting their lives.

Apologies. Edited.

Delusions are what I think you want, and it isn’t specific to any diagnosis.
